Front Wheel/Suspension/Steering Service Information - Honda CRF450X 2005 Service Manual

FRONT WHEEL/SUSPENSION/STEERING
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• Keep grease off the brake pads and disc.
• A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and clean a con taminated disc
with
a
high quality brake d egreasing agent.
• When servicing the front wheel, fork or steering stem, support the motorcycle using a work stand or equivalent under
the engine.
• After front wheel installation, check the brake operation by applying the brake lever.
• Refer to the brake system information (page 16-3),
• When using the lock nut wrench, use a 20-inch long deflecting beam type torque wrench. The lock nut wrench increases
the torque wrench's leverage, so the torque wrench reading wil l be less than the torque actually applied to the fork
damper. The specification given on this page is actual torque applied to the fork damper, not the reading on the torque
wrench when used with the lock nut wrench. The procedure later in the text gives the actual and indicated torque.
