Periodic maintenance and adjustment
TIP
 If the drive chain is difficult to re-
move, remove the wheel axle first,
and then lift the wheel upward
enough to remove the drive chain
from the rear sprocket.
 The drive chain does not need to
be disassembled in order to re-
move and install the rear wheel.
6. While supporting the brake caliper
and slightly lifting the wheel, pull
the wheel axle out.
1. Wheel axle
TIP
 A rubber mallet may be useful to
tap the wheel axle out.
 The drive chain pullers may fall out
when removing the wheel axle.
7. Remove the wheel. NOTICE: Do
not apply the brake after the
wheel and brake disc have been
removed, otherwise the brake
pads will be forced shut.
To install the rear wheel
1. Insert the rear wheel between the
swingarm and then install the
drive chain onto the rear sprocket.
2. Install the brake caliper and drive
chain pullers, and then install the
wheel by inserting the wheel axle
from the right side.
TIP
 Make sure that the slot in the
brake caliper bracket is fit over the
retainer on the swingarm.
 Make sure that there is enough
space between the brake pads
before installing the wheel.
