Removal
W e recommend wheel removal be done only by your Honda dealer or another
qualified mechanic. Do not attempt to remove the wheel on your own. Wheel
removal requires mechanical skill and professional tools.
1. Park your motorcycle on its center stand on a firm, level surface.
2. Remove the parts in sequence, according to the order in the illustration.
To avoid damage to the brake hose during removal, support the caliper
assembly so that it doesn't hang from the hose. Do not twist the brake hose.
Avoid getting grease, oil, or dirt on the disc or pad surfaces. Any
contamination can cause poor brake performance or rapid pad wear after
reassembly.
Avoid depressing the brake lever and brake pedal when the wheel is off the
motorcycle. This will force the caliper pistons out of the cylinders. The
result will be loss of brake fluid. If this occurs, the brake system will
require service. See your Honda dealer for this service.
When removing and installing the wheel, be careful not to damage the
sensor and pulser ring (Model equipped with ABS).
