brake master cylinder from the handlebar.
Suspend the master cylinder from the motor-
cycle with a bunjee cord. Keep the master cyl-
inder reservoir upright. This prevents brake
fluid spills and helps keep air out of the brake
system. Do not disconnect the hydraulic
brake line.

handlebar holder acorn nuts (Figure 7) under
the upper fork bridge. These also secure the
windshield bracket to the upper fork bridge.

side of the upper fork bridge.
e. Remove the steering head nut (B, Figure 4)
and washer.
f. Place a tarp or plastic cover over the frame.
Lift the upper fork bridge from the fork tubes,
with the handlebar attached, and lay the fork
bridge/handlebar assembly across the tarp
(Figure 8).
g. Slide the upper fork cover (Figure 9) from
the fork tube. Watch for the index pin (A, Fig-
ure 10) in the lower fork bridge.
h. Remove the indexing pin (A, Figure 10), up-
per fork cover spacer (B) and washer (C).
i. Loosen the two clamp bolts (A, Figure 5) on
the lower fork bridge. Rotate the fork leg and
lower it from the lower fork bridge and the
lower fork cover.
