4. After installing the wheel, apply the 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.
Check for free wheel rotation after the brake lever and brake pedal are
released. Recheck the wheel if the brake drags or if the wheel does not
rotate freely.
After installing the wheel, operate the brake lever AND brake pedal several
times until you feel pressure. You must restore pressure from BOTH the
lever AND the pedal because this motorcycle is equipped with a Linked
Braking System.
Verify proper brake operation before riding.
5. Remove the protective tapes from the front wheel.
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.
