CAUTION
Improper jacking may cause damage to the
oil filter.
Do not apply the jack head to the oil filter
when jacking up the motorcycle.
4. Turn the axle counterclockwise and
draw it out.
5. Slide the front wheel forward.
NOTE: Never squeeze the front brake
lever with the wheel removed. It is very
difficult to force the pads back into the
caliper assembly.
6. To reinstall the wheel assembly,
reverse the sequence as
scribed.
7. After installing the wheel, apply the
brake several times to re-store the
proper lever stroke.
!WARNING
Failure to extend brake pads after installing
the wheel can cause poor braking perfor-
mance and may result in an accident.
Before riding, "pump" the brake repeatedly
until brake pads are pressed against the
brake disks and proper lever/pedal stroke
and firm feel are restored. Also check that
the wheel rotates freely.
