Honda CB Hornet 160R Owner's Manual page 64

Do not depress the brake lever when the
wheel is off the vehicle. The caliper piston will
be forced out of the cylinder with subsequent
loss of brake fluid. If this occurs, servicing
of the brake system will be necessary. Visit
your Honda dealer for this service.
Installation Notes:
• Position the wheel between the fork legs
and insert the front axle from right side,
through the right fork leg and wheel hub.
• Tighten the front axle nut to the
specified torque.
Front axle nut torque:
59 N·m (6.0 kgf·m , 43 lbf·ft)
• Tighten the axle pinch bolt on the left
fork leg to the specified torque.
Axle pinch bolt torque:
22 N·m (2.2 kgf·m , 16 lbf·ft)
• After installing the wheel, apply the
brake several times and then check if
the wheel rotates freely. Recheck the
wheel if the brake drags or if the wheel
does not rotate freely.
If a torque wrench was not used for
installation, visit your Honda dealer as soon
as possible to verify proper torquing.
