Installation
1. Installation is the reverse order of removal.
Install the side collars into the wheel in their
original locations. Carefully fit the brake disc
between the pads to avoid scratching them.
2. Insert the front axle shaft from the right side,
through the axle holder, wheel hub and left
fork leg.
3. Tighten the front axle shaft to the specified
torque:
44 lbf·ft (59 N·m, 6.0 kgf·m)
4. First tighten the upper axle holder nuts until
lightly seated, then tighten the lower axle
holder nuts until lightly seated.
5. Operate the front brake and pump the fork
several times.

6. First tighten the upper axle holder nuts to the
specified torque, then tighten the lower axle
holder nuts to the same torque:
9 lbf·ft (12 N·m, 1.2 kgf·m)
7. 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.
Check front brake adjustment (page 82).
If a torque wrench was not used to install the
wheel, see your dealer as soon as possible to
verify proper assembly. Improper assembly
may lead to loss of braking capacity.
