1. Removal from Fork
To remove the front wheel from the fork
place the machine on the centre stand and front
stand, if fitted, or alternatively with sufficient
packing (about 2 in.) beneath each side of the
stand to lift the wheel clear of the ground when
tilted back on to the rear wheel. Slacken brake
cable adjustments and disconnect cables from
handlebar lever and from operating cam levers
on hub. Unscrew the four nuts securing the fork
bottom tube lug caps (Part No. 38593) and allow
the wheel to drop forwards out of the front fork.
Make sure that the machine stands securely on
the rear wheel and centre stand-if necessary
place a weight on the saddle or a strut beneath
the fork to ensure this.
2. Removal of Brake Cover Plate Assemblies
Lock the brake "on" by pressure on the
operating lever, 38905 (R.H.) or 38906 (L.H.),
