FRONT WHEEL REMOVAL
Wheel removal requires mechanical skill and professional tools such as a floor jack
and torque wrench. We recommend it be done only by your authorized Honda dealer
or other qualified mechanic.
NOTE:
For some temporary tubeless tyre repairs, wheel removal may not be necessary.
1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a support block under the engine,
being careful to avoid contact with exhaust pipe and front lower cover.
2. Remove the parts in sequence, according to the order in the illustration.
NOTE:
When removing and installing the wheel, be careful not to damage the sensor and
pulser ring (Model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS).
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 disc or pad surfaces, because such
contamination can cause poor brake performance or rapid pad wear after reassembly.
NOTE:
Do not depress the brake lever (CBS/ABS/TCS: brake lever and brake pedal) when the
wheel is off the motorcycle. The caliper pistons will be forced out of the cylinder with
subsequent loss of brake fluid. If this occurs, servicing of the brake system will be
necessary. See your authorized Honda dealer for this service.
For related torque specifications. The numbers indicate the sequence of disassembly.
