FRONT WHEEL REMOVAL TIRES and TUBES
Tire Air Pressure
Removal
1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a
maintenance stand or support block under
the engine. Secure the rear of the motorcycle
with tie-down straps.
2. Remove the front axle nut and front axle.
3. Remove the wheel. Do not get any grease, oil or
dirt on the brake pad surfaces. This can
cause poor or erratic brake performance, or
rapid brake pad wear after reassembly.
Installation
1. Reverse the removal procedure.
2. Torque the axle to 35 Ib-ft.
3. Check front brake adjustment.
If a torque wrench was not used to re-install the
wheel, have your dealer inspect the bike as soon
as possible to verify proper assembly. Improper re-
assembly may lead to loss of front braking function.
To safely operate your pit bike, the tires must be of
the proper type (for off-road use only) and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, no cuts or oth-
er visible signs of damage, and correctly inated.
WARNING! Using a tire that is excessively worn
or improperly inated can lead to a loss of control
which could result in serious injury or death. Follow
all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire
ination and maintenance.
Properly inated tires provide the best combination
of handing, tread life and riding comfort.
Under-inated tires wear unevenly which adversely
affects handling. Under-inated tires are more likely
to fail from overheating. Under-inated tires may
also cause wheel damage in rocky terrain.
Over-inated tires will make your motorcycle ride
more harshly, are more prone to being damaged by
surface hazards and wear unevenly. >>>
