Do not support the brake caliper by the brake
hose. Do not operate the front brake lever after
the front wheel is removed. To do so will cause
difficulty in fitting the brake disc between the
brake pads.

The outer tube can drop on the slider and
damage the fork dust seal and guide bushing
when the fork damper is removed. To avoid
damage hold both the outer tube and slider when
