Replacing
Wheel
Bearings
If
the bearings allow play
in
the wheel hub or
if
the wheel does
not
turn smoothly, replace
the bearings
as
follows:
1.
Cle.an
the outside
of
the wheel hub.
2. Drive the bearing
out
by pushing the
spacer aside and tapping around the
perimeter
of
the bearing inner race with
a soft
metal drift punch and hammer.
The spacer
"floats"
between the bear-
ings. Both bearings
can
be
removed
in
this manner.
WARNING:
Eye
protection
is
recommended
when
using
striking
tools.
3.
To install the wheel bearing, reverse the
above sequence.
Use
a socket that mat-
ches the outside diameter
of
the race
of
the bearing
to
drive
in
the bearing.
Do
not
strike
the
center
race
or
balls
of
the
bearing.
Contact
should
be
made
on-
ly
with
the
outer
race.

Wheel
Inspection
1.
Check for cracks, bends, or warpage
of
the wheels. If a wheel
is
deformed or
cracked, it must
be
replaced.
2. Check
wheel run-out. If the deflection
exceeds the tolerance below, check the
spoke-tension, rim deformation, and
wheel bearings. Replace the wheel
as
re-
quired.
Rim
run-out limits:
Vertical: 2
mm
(0.079 in)
Lateral: 2 mm (0.079 in)
5-2
1.
Dial
gauge
3.
Check the wheel balance. Rotate the
wheel lightly several times and note
where
the
wheel comes
to
rest. If the
wheel
is
not
statically balanced, it will
come
to
rest at the same point each
time.
Install
an
appropriate balance
weight at the lightest point (at top).
4.
After installing a tire, ride conservatively
to
allow the tire
to
seat itself properly on
the
rim. Failure
to
allow proper seating
may cause tire failure resulting
in
damage
to
the motorcycle and injury
to
the rider.
5.
After repairing
or
replacing a tire, check
to
be sure the valve-stem locknut is
securely fastened.
If not, torque it
as
specified.
TIGHTENING TORQUE:
1.5Nm
(O.15m·kg,
1.1
ft'lb)

Installing
Front
Wheel
When installing the front wheel, reverse the
removal procedure. Note the
following
points:
1.
Lightly grease the lips
of
the front wheel
oil
seals and the gear teeth
of
the
speedometer drive and driven gears.
Use
lightweight lithium-base grease.
2.
Make sure the projecting portion (torque
stopper)
of
the front fork
is
positioned
correctly.
