Only remove raised witness marks from within the wheel. Removal of material below
any raised areas will reduce the level of interference between the wheel and the
bearings. Loss of interference could cause the bearing to become loose in the wheel
leading to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
1. Examine the wheel for any raised witness marks caused by the bearing removal
process. Remove any such marks with fine emery paper or a gentle file.
Wheel Bearings – Inspection
1. Check the wheel bearings spin smoothly with no signs of play. If not, renew the
bearings.
Front Wheel Bearings – Installation
Bearings are inserted by means of a draw bolt acting on the insertion tool. A support
tool is located on the opposite side of the wheel to the insertion tool and as the bolt is
tightened, the bearing is drawn into the wheel.
Always fit a new bearing circlip and seals.
1. Assemble the wheel bearing to the side of the wheel with the circlip groove and the
installation tools as noted in the diagram below.
