7. Verify that wheel and tire are true.
a. For laced wheels, see 2.9 TRUING LACED WHEELS.
b. For cast wheels, see 2.10 CHECKING CAST WHEEL
RUNOUT.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply a light coat of LOCTITE ANTI-SEIZE LUBRICANT
to the axle, bearing bores, and the bore of the inner sleeve.
2. Roll wheel into rear fork and position brake caliper mount
between wheel and fork. Ensure notch in caliper mount is
engaged with tab on fork.
3. Slide drive belt over drive sprocket. Make sure brake disc
is centered between brake pads.
4. Install axle:
a. From right side, carefully insert axle through right rear
fork and rear caliper bracket.
b. Continue sliding axle through wheel hub sleeve,
sprocket, left side spacer and left rear fork.
NOTE
Caliper to rear wheel clearance is minimal.To prevent damage
to surfaces, be careful when installing caliper.
5. Install caliper assembly to rear fork. See 2.15 REAR
BRAKE CALIPER.
6. Install brake pads and retaining pin. See 1.16 BRAKE
PADS AND DISCS.
7. See Figure 2-11. Attach rear shocks.
a. Apply two or three drops of LOCTITE THREAD-
LOCKER 243 (blue) to threads of lower shock
mounting screws (2).
b. Lift rear fork and install both shock absorbers with
lower shock mounting screws (2).
c. Tighten upper shock nuts to 30-40 ft-lbs (40.7-54.2
Nm).
d. Tighten lower shock fasteners to 30-40 ft-lbs (40.7-
54.2 Nm).
Check wheel bearing end play after tightening axle nut to
specified torque. Excessive end play can adversely affect
stability and handling. Insufficient end play can cause
bearing seizure. Either condition can cause loss of control,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00285a)
Do not exceed specified torque when tightening axle nut.
Exceeding torque can cause wheel bearings to seize during
vehicle operation, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00408e)
8. See Figure 2-10. Install washer and axle nut (2) on left
side of axle.
a. Tighten axle nut to 95-105 ft-lbs (128.8-142.4 Nm).
b. Install retaining ring (1).
9. Install debris deflector using three screws.Tighten to 40-60
in-lbs (4.5-6.8 Nm). See 2.20 DEBRIS DEFLECTOR.
10. Install belt guard. See 2.19 BELT GUARD.
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.
(00284a)
11. Pump brake pedal to move pistons out until they contact
both brake pads.Verify piston location against pads.
12. Verify correct axle alignment. See 2.11 VEHICLE ALIGN-
MENT.
13. Check belt deflection. See 1.13 REAR BELT DEFLEC-
TION.
