When truing a laced spoked motorcycle wheel, what is the effect of tightening a single spoke on one side of the rim?

  1. It pulls the rim outward radially, increasing wheel diameter
  2. It pulls that section of the rim laterally toward the side of the hub where the spoke is anchored
  3. It increases the tyre bead seating diameter
  4. It decreases the tension of all other spokes on that same side
