REASSEMBLY REAR WHEEL
Read carefully (SERVICING SCHEDULE).
Apply a thin film of grease to the outer seals of the
rear wheel hub.
The spacers have different diameters: do not mix
them up and take care to position them correctly.
Insert the left (1) and right (2) spaces in their seals on
the wheel hub.
Install the spacer (4) in its correct position, if it has
fallen out of the torque plate seat (3).
CAUTION
CAUTION
Before proceeding with the reassembly, make sure
that the torque plate (3) of the brake caliper (4) is
positioned correctly; the plate slot must be in-
serted in the appropriate stop pin (5) in the inner
part of the right side of the swinging arm.
Insert the disc in the brake caliper carefully.
Position the wheel centrally in the swinging arm (6).
Take extra care to ensure that your fingers are not
caught between the chain and the rear sprocket.
Wear heavy work gloves when performing this
operation. If your fingers become entangled in the
chain and rear sprocket, you will amputate a
finger or suffer other serious injury.
Move the wheel forward as far as possible in order to
install the chain (7) on the sprocket (8).
Pull the rear wheel backwards until the bearing holes
are lined up with the holes in the swinging arm.
Rotate the torque plate (3), complete with brake caliper
(4), with the stop pin (5) in proper position until it is
appropriately aligned with the holes in the swing arm.
WARNING
Install the right (9) and left (10) chain tighteners in
their seats on the swing arm.
Lightly grease the outside of the axle (11).
Install the axle (11) completely through the wheel from
the left side.
NOTE Ensure that the axle (1) is pushed all the way
home with the head in the appropriate seat on the left
chain tightener (10).
Install the washer and tighten the nut (12) finger tight.
Check the chain tension, (DRIVE CHAIN).
