Bearings reassembly

Fill, with grease, the bearing housing. First insert the right side bearing, then
the spacer and, finally, the left side bearing.
Apply grease inside to the dust protection seal. Fit the dust protection seal.
Install the tachometer gear seal into the wheel hub, aligning the tags with the
grooves. Fill with grease the tachometer gear box, then fit the box on the
wheel hub, aligning the tags with the grooves.

WHEEL INSTALLATION

Pay attention to don’t damage the brake pads when fitting the calliper on brake
disc. Prior to fit the wheel spindle, clean carefully.
Lightly tighten the nuts securing the spindle caps.

Tighten the wheel spindle to the appropriate torque.
After the wheel installation, always check the proper brake functioning.
In order to set the wheel spindle, move the brake act on fork, up and down, for
several times.
Lock the nuts securing the spindle caps with the appropriate torque.
Connect the speedometer cable to the drive pinion.

TECHNICAL DATA

Allowable limit:
Wheel spindle runout 0.2 mm.
Wheel rim centering limit 2 mm.
