Front And Rear Suspension; Side Stand; Front Wheel Removal - Honda CBX 750F Owner's Manual

Front and Rear Suspension

1. Check the front fork ass embly by locking the front brake and pumping the fork up and down vigorously. Suspension
action should be smooth and there must be no oil seepage.
2. Rear fork bushing – this can be checked by pushing hard against the side of the rear wheel while the motorcycle is on the
centre stand and feeling for looseness of the fork bushings.
3. Carefully inspect all front and rear suspension fasteners for tightness.

Side Stand

Check the rubber pad for deterio ration or wear. Replace if wear extends to wear line (1)
as shown.

Front Wheel Removal

Raise the front wheel o ff the ground by placing a support block under the engine.
1. Disconnect the speedometer cable by removing the speedometer cable set screw.
2. Remove the right calliper assembly (1) from the fork leg by removing the fixing bolts (2).
Caution: Support calliper assembly so that it doesn't hang on the hose. Do not twist the brake hose.
3. Remove the front axle holder nuts (3), and remove the front axle holders (4). Remove the front wheel.
NOTE: Do not depress the brake lever when the wheel is off the motorcycle. The calliper 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. See your
authorised Honda dealer for this service.
Installation Notes:
To install the front wheel assembly, position the wheel between the fork legs. Lower the forks so the hollows in the fork legs
rest on top of the axle.
CAUTION: When installing the wheel, fit the left brake disc carefully between the brake pads to avoid damaging the
pads.
Position the lug on the speedometer gearbox against the lug (5) on the left fork leg. Install the axle holders (4) with the F mark
(6) forward. Tighten the forward axle holder nuts lightly.
Fit the right calliper over the disc taking care not to damage the brake pads. Install the calliper mounting bolts and tighten to 30
– 40 Nm (3.0 – 4.0 kg-m, 22 – 29 ft-lb) torque.
Tighten the nuts on the right axle to 18 – 25 Nm (1.8 – 2.5 kg-m, 13 – 18 ft-lb) torque, starting with the forward nut.
