5. Slide the front wheel forward.
NOTE: Never squeeze the front brake lever
with the front wheel removed. It is very diffi-
cult to force brake pads into the caliper
assembly.
6. To reinstall the wheel assembly, reverse
the sequence described above.
7. After installing the wheel, apply the front
brake several times to restore the proper
lever stroke.
WARNING
Failure to extend brake pads after install-
ing the wheel can cause poor braking
performance and may result in an acci-
dent.
Before riding, “pump” the brake lever
repeatedly until the brake pads are
pressed against the brake disks and
proper lever stroke and firm feel are
restored. Also check that the wheel
rotates freely.
