REASSEMBLY

Carefully read p. 35 (MAINTENANCE).

While reassembling the wheel, be
careful not to damage the brake
pipe, the disc and the pads.
To reassemble the front wheel, proceed as

follows:
Uniformly apply a moderate
quantity of grease on the wheel
pin (3) and a greater quantity of grease
on the dust cover (6) of the odometer
control (5), see p. 64 (LUBRICANT
CHART).
Correctly position the odometer control
(5) with the relevant seat (7) inserted in
the antirotation pin (8), while partially in-
troducing the wheel pin (3) from the left
side (travelling direction).
Make sure that the wheel hub (9) is per-
fectly clean, either inside and outside.

Upon reassembly, do not force
the wheel against the odometer
control (5), to prevent the wheel
hub (9) from damaging the teeth (10).
Bring the wheel near the end of the sus-
pension arm, raise it and insert the wheel
pin (3) completely.
Rotate the wheel moderately and try to
find the point in which it can be fitted
completely, with the wheel hub (9) cor-
rectly coupled with the teeth (10).
Insert the washer, lock the rotation of the
wheel pin (3) by means of a spanner,
screw and tighten the nut (4).
Wheel nut (4) driving torque:
120 Nm (12 kgm).
Put back the cover (2) and fit it manually.
Remove the support from under the vehi-
cle.
