vehicle so there is no danger of it
falling over.
1. Loosen the locknut and drive
chain slack adjusting bolt on each
side of the swingarm.

is off the ground. (See page 7-32.)

5. Push the wheel forward, and then
remove the drive chain from the
rear sprocket.

z If the drive chain is difficult to re-
move, remove the wheel axle first,
and then lift the wheel upward
enough to remove the drive chain
from the rear sprocket.
z The drive chain does not need to
be disassembled in order to re-
move and install the rear wheel.
6. While supporting the brake caliper
and slightly lifting the wheel, pull
the wheel axle out.
TIP
A rubber mallet may be useful to tap
the wheel axle out.

removed, otherwise the brake
pads will be forced shut.
