REAR WHEEL/BRAKE/SUSPENSION
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
ACAUTION
Frequent inhalation of brake shoe dust, regardless of material composition could be hazardous to your health.
• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
• Riding on damaged rims impairs safe operation of the vehicle.
• A hoist or equivalent is required to support the motorcycle when servicing the rear wheel, shock absorber, or
swingarm.
• Use only genuine Honda replacement bolts and nuts for all suspension pivot and mounting points.
• When using the lock nut wrench for the adjusting bolt lock nut, use a deflecting beam type torque wrench 20 inches
long. The lock nut wrench increases the torque wrench's leverage, so the torque wrench reading will be less than the
torque actually applied to the swingarm right pivot lock nut. The specification given in the actual torque applied to the
swingarm right pivot lock nut, not the reading on the torque wrench. Do not overtighten the lock nut. The specification
later in the text gives both actual and indicated.
