Front Wheel Removal

1. Place the bike on the centerstand.

2. Weight the rear of the bike so it will not rock forward.

3. Remove both sets of calipers, 8mm hex bit socket to remove the 2 bolts

holding each caliper to the bottom of the fork leg

4. To remove the caliper, gently rock it back and forth on the rotor to spread the

brake pads.

Warning! Do NOT

compress the front brake lever while the calipers are removed!

5. Remove the axle “nut” (bolt) from the left end of the axle, 17mm socket

6. Loosen the axle clamp bolts several turns, 6mm hex bit socket.

7. Note carefully the orientation of the speedometer drive unit so you get it

installed correctly later on!!!

8. Insert a screwdriver into the end of the axle and pull and twist to remove the

axle while supporting the tire (watch for the spacer on the right side).

9. Roll the wheel out.

10. Now is a good time to take a good look at the brake pads.

11. Check the front wheel bearing.
