o
CAUTION:
When installing the wheel, fit both brake discs carefully between the brake
o
pads to avoid damaging the pads.
2. Measure the clearance between the outside surface of the left brake disc and the left
caliper holder with a 0.7 mm (0.028 in) feeler gauge. If the gauge inserts easily,
tighten the right and left axle pinch bolts to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
Axle bolt: 89 N-m (9.0 kgf-m, 65 Ibf-ft)
o
Axle pinch bolt: 26 N-m (2.7 kgf-m, 20 Ibf-ft)
o
If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your authorized
Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify proper assembly. Improper assembly may
lead to loss of braking capability.
3. 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 axle pinch bolts with the gauge inserted.
4. After tightening, remove the gauge. After installing the wheel, apply the brakes
(CBS/ABS/TCS: brake lever and brake pedal) several times, then recheck both discs
for caliper-holder-to-disc clearance. Do not operate the motorcycle without adequate
clearance.
Failure to provide adequate disc-to-caliper-holder clearance may damage the brake

discs and impair braking efficiency.
For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS:
CAUTION:
After installation, operate the brake lever and brake pedal and check the brake

operation.
