If You Have a Flat Tire
Installation
1. Reassemble the removed parts in the
reverse order of removal.
Before installing the wheel, check
that the wheel hub and final drive
gear splines are coated with
molybdenum disulfide paste (USA
only: Pro Honda Moly 60 Paste, or
equivalent).
Install the side collar and position the
wheel between the swingarm and the
final drive gear case. Be sure the
splines on the wheel hub fit into the
final drive gear case.
While installing the wheel, carefully
fit the brake disc between the brake
pads to avoid damaging the pads.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
2. Tighten the nuts and bolts to the
specified torques:
rear axle nut:
81 lbf·ft (110 N·m , 11.2 kgf·m)
rear brake bracket bolt:
51 lbf·ft (69 N·m , 7.0 kgf·m)
If a torque wrench was not used for
installation, see your Honda dealer as
soon as possible to verify proper
assembly. Improper assembly may lead
to loss of braking capability.
3. After installing the wheel, apply the
brake several times. Check for free
wheel rotation after the brake is
released. Recheck the wheel if the brake
drags or the wheel does not rotate freely.
