Installation
1. Make sure the axle and the axle bearing surfaces
of the fork sliders are free of burrs and nicks.
2. Lubricate the axle with lithium soap grease.
3. Apply a light coat of lithium soap grease to the
lips of the oil seal in one side of the hub (B, Figure
19) and install the collar (A).
4. Repeat Step 3 on the other side.
5. Roll the wheel into place between the fork legs.
Make sure the arrow on the tire points in the direc-
tion of forward rotation.
6. Lubricate the axle with lithium soap grease.
Insert the front axle (B, Figure 18) through right
fork slider and the hub, and turn the axle into the left
fork slider. Do not tighten it to the final torque at
this time.
7. Install a brake caliper as follows:
a. Remove the shop rag from the caliper and
route the brake hose along the path noted dur-
ing removal.
b. Lower the caliper onto the brake disc. Be
careful not to damage the leading edge of
each brake pad during installation.
c. Install the caliper mounting bolts (Figure
17). Apply medium-strength threadlocking
compound to the bolt threads and torque them
to 40 N•m (30 ft.-lb.).
d. Install the brake hose holder onto the reflector
bracket and tighten the brake hose holder bolt
(Figure 16) to 7 N•m (62 in.-lb.).
8. Repeat Step 7 to install the other brake caliper.
9. After the wheel is completely installed, rotate it
several times to make sure it turns freely. Apply the
front brake as many times as necessary to ensure the
brake pads properly engage the brake disc.
10. Pump the fork several times to ensure the fork
legs slide smoothly.
11. Torque the front axle (B, Figure 18) to 59 N•m
(43 ft.-lb.), then torque the clamp bolt (A, Figure
18) to 20 N•m (15 ft-lb.).

CAUTION
Do not lay a wheel on the brake disc.
The disc could be scratched or bent.
3. Use wooden blocks to support the wheel. Place
the tire on the blocks so the brake disc will not be
damaged (Figure 2).
CAUTION
The hub can be serviced with the
brake disc and hub plate in place.
Nonetheless, consider removing the
brake disc so it will not be damaged.
