-
• Wheel removal requires mechanical skill and professional
tools such as a torque wrench. We recommend it be done
only by your authorized Honda dealer or other qualified
mechanic.
1. Place the motorcycle on its center stand.
2. Remove the parts in sequence, according to the order in
the illustration.
CAUTION:
• Support the caliper assembly before removing the rear axle
so that the caliper does not hang from the brake hose. Do
not twist the brake hose.
• A void getting grease, oil or dirt on the disc or pad surfaces,
because such contamination can cause poor brake perfor-
mance or rapid pad wear after reassembly.
• Do not damage the muffler gaskets when handling the
mufflers.
NOTE:
• Do not depress the brake pedal while the wheel is off the
motorcycle. The caliper pistons will be forced out of the
cylinder with subsequent loss of brake fluid. If this occurs,
servicing of the brake system will be neceS6ary. See your
authorized Honda dealer for this service.
Installation
1. Reassemble removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not pinch, or twist the air hose when installing the right
saddlebag.
NOTE:
• Apply a lithium-based multipurpose grease with molyb-
denum disulfide additive to the rear hub splines, final drive
gear splines and flange pins when the rear wheel is
reassembled. Be sure the splines on the wheel hub fit into
the final drive case and the splines on the final drive case fit
into the driveshaft end.
