Dismounting And Mounting The Rear Wheel - HUSABERG "05 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE

DISMOUNTING AND MOUNTING THE REAR WHEEL

Jack the motorcycle up on its frame so that the rear wheel no longer tou-
ches the ground.
Loosen the collar nut (1), remove chain tensioner (2), hold the rear wheel
and pull out the wheel spindle (3) until the rear wheel is free but the brake
caliper support is still held.
Push the rear wheel as far forward as possible, take the chain from the
chain wheel and carefully take the rear wheel out of the swingarm.
CAUTION: Do not operate the rear brake when the rear wheel
has been dismounted.
Make sure the brake disc is always on top when you lay down
the wheel, otherwise the brake disc can be damaged.
If the axle is dismounted, clean the thread of the wheel spindle
and collar nut thoroughly and apply a new coat of grease to
prevent the thread from jamming.
The rear wheel is remounted in the reverse order. Before tightening the
collar nut to 80 Nm, push the rear wheel forwards so that the chain
tensioners lie on the tension screws.
WARNING: If you don't happen to have a torque wrench at
hand, make sure you have the tightening torque
corrected by a Husaberg dealer as soon as possible. A loose
axle may lead to an unstable driving behavior of your
motorcycle.
After mounting the rear wheel, keep operating the rear brake
until the pressure point returns.
It is very important to keep the brake disk free from oil and
fatty matters, eitherwise the braking effects would be stron-
gly reduced.
Tighten the collar nut with the required torque. A loose
wheel spindle may lead to an unstable behavior of your
motorcycle.
