Wheel Removal

Front wheel Removal

Removal of the front wheel is performed in the following manner.

  1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a support under the engine.
  2. Remove the speedometer cable (1) from the front wheel hub assembly.
  3. Remove the axle holder nuts (2) and the front wheel assembly can be removed from the front fork.

To install the front wheel, reverse the sequence outlined above.

NOTE: Do not depress the brake lever when the wheel is off the motorcycle as this can cause the caliper piston to be forced out of the cylinder with a subsequent loss of brake fluid. If this does occur, servicing of the brake system will be necessary.

 

Rear Wheel Removal

Removal of the rear wheel is performed in the following manner.

  1. Raise the rear wheel off the ground by placing its main stand.
  2. Unscrew the rear brake adjusting nut (1) and disassemble the brake rod from the brake stopper arm and disconnect the stopper arm from the panel.
  3. Pull out the rear axle by removing the cotter pin (2) and rear axle nut (3). Move the rear wheel forward, and remove the drive chain from the driven sprocket. Then remove the rear wheel.
