LACED WHEELS.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply a light coat of LOCTITE ANTI-SEIZE LUBRICANT
to the axle, bearing bores, and the bore of the inner sleeve.
2. See Figure 2-8. Place wheel into front fork and install axle.
Verify that axle spacers (1) on right and left side are
properly installed.

toward the rear of the vehicle. Do not tighten fasteners at
this time.
4. Install the washer, lockwasher, and axle nut.Tighten axle
nut to 60-65 ft-lbs (81.3-88.1 Nm). Hold axle stationary
with a steel rod or screwdriver inserted through hole on
right end of axle while tightening.
5. Tighten rear axle cap fastener (2) to 10-14 ft-lbs (13.6-
19.0 Nm), then tighten front axle cap fastener (3) to 10-14

6. See Figure 2-3. Install the brake caliper to the fork legs.
a. Loosely install long mounting bolt (1) (metric) into top
hole on fork leg.
b. Install short mounting bolt (2) (metric) into bottom hole
on fork leg. Tighten bottom mounting bolt to 28-38 ft-
lbs (38.0-51.5 Nm).
c. Final tighten the top mounting bolt to 28-38 ft-
lbs (38.0-51.5 Nm).
Whenever a wheel is installed and before moving the
motorcycle, pump brakes to build brake system pressure.
Insufficient pressure can adversely affect brake perform-
ance, which could result in death or serious injury.
