FRAME/WHEELS/BRAKES
Wheel removal requires mechanical skill and professional
•
tools such as a floor jack and torque wrench. We recommend
it be done only by yout authorized Honda dealer or
other qualified mecahnic.
NOTE:
For some temporary tubeless tire repairs, wheel removal
•
may not be necessary. See pages 30, 31.
Refer to Maintenance Precautions page 56.
1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a support
block under the engine.
2. Remove the parts in sequence, according to the order in
the illustration.
CAUTION:
•
To avoid damage to the brake hose, support the caliper
assembly so that it doesn't hang from the hose. Do not
twist the brake hose.
•
Avoid getting grease, oil or dirt on the disk or pad surfaces,
because such contamination can cause poor brake performance
or rapid brake wear after reassembly.
NOTE:
Do not depress the brake lever when the wheel is off the
•
motorcycle. The caliper pistons will be forced out of the
cylinder with subsequant loss of brake fluid. If this occurs,
servicing of the brake system will be necessary. See your
Honda dealer for this service.
