Installation
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).
1. 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.
2. Install the side collar, rear brake bracket
and rear brake bracket bolt.
To avoid damaging the brake pads
while setting the brake caliper
assembly over the brake disc,
carefully fit the brake disc between
the pads.
3. Insert the rear axle shaft from the left
side, through the final drive gear case,
wheel hub and rear brake bracket.

4. Tighten the rear brake bracket bolt to
the specified torque:
51 lbf·ft (69 N·m , 7.0 kgf·m)
5. Tighten the axle nut to the specified
torque:
81 lbf·ft (110 N·m , 11.2 kgf·m)
6. Install the muffler bracket bolts and
tighten to the specified torque:
25 lbf·ft (34 N·m , 3.5 kgf·m)
7. 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.
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.
