Avoid depressing the brake pedal
when the wheel is off the motorcycle.
This will force the caliper piston out
of the cylinder. The result will be a
loss of brake fluid. If this occurs, the
brake system will require service.
See your Honda dealer for this
service.
If You Have a Flat Tire
Installation
Before installing the wheel, check that the
wheel hub and final drive gear splines are
coated with molybdenum disulfide paste
(USA only: Pro Honda Moly 60 Paste, or
equivalent).
1. Install the side collar and position the
wheel between the swingarm and the
final drive gear case. Be sure the splines
on the wheel hub fit into the final drive
gear case.
2. Install the rear brake bracket and rear
brake bracket bolt.
To avoid damaging the brake pads
while setting the brake caliper
assembly over the brake disc,
carefully fit the brake disc between
the pads.
