with
a
high quality brake degreasing agent.

before reinstalling the wheel.
CAUTION:
• Do not jack up the motorcycle using the oil filter.
• To avoid damaging the rim when using the tire lever, always use rim protectors.
• When servicing the front wheel, support the motorcycle securely with a jack or other adjustable support.
