Rear Wheel Removal - Honda CBX 750F Owner's Manual

Measure the clearance (7) between each surface of the right brake disc (8) and the right calliper holder (9) with a 0.7 mm
(0.028 in) feeler gauge (see sketch). If gauge (10) inserts easily, first tighten the forward axle holder nut to the specified torque,
then torque the rear nut.
Warning: If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your dealer as soon as possible to verify proper
assembly.
If the feeler gauge cannot be inserted easily, pull the left fork outward or push inward until the gauge can be inserted and
tighten the holder nuts with the gauge inserted. After re-tightening, remove the gauge.
After installing the wheel, apply the brakes several times, then recheck both discs for calliper holder to disc clearance.
Do not operate the motorcycle without adequate clearan ce.
WARNING: Failure to provide adequate disc to calliper holder clearance may damage the brake disc and impair
braking efficiency.

Rear Wheel Removal

Place the motorcycle on its centre stand.
1. Loosen the drive chain adjuster lock nuts (1) and adjusting nuts (2).
2. Loosen the rear axle nut (3), and pull out the axle.
3. Push the wheel forward and remove the drive chain from the rear sprocket.
4. Pull out the wheel from the swing arm.
Note: Do not depress the brake pedal while 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 Note:
To install the rear wheel, reverse the removal procedure. Torque the axle nut to 85 – 105 Nm (8.5 – 10.5 kg-m, 61 – 76 ft-lbs).
CAUTION: When installing the wheel, fit the brake disc between the brake pads carefully.
After installing the wheel, apply the brake several times and check if the wheel rotates freely. Recheck the wheel if the brake
drags or if the wheel does not rotate freely.
Warning: If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your dealer as soon as possible to verify proper
assembly.
