3. Front Wheel
Removal 3.1.
Lift the front end of the vehicle with a
suitable stand or jack so that the front wheel
comes off of the ground.
Loosen the front axle pinch bolt (2) with a 6
mm Allen.
Remove the front axle (1) with an 8 mm
Allen socket.
Support the front wheel and slide the front
axle out from the left side.
Guide the front wheel out from the fork legs
and the brake disc out from between the
pads. Do not squeeze the brake lever while
the disc is not present between the pads.
Install in the reverse order of work.
Inspection 3.2.
Remove the collars from each side of the
wheel. Inspect the bearing seals and the
O-rings seals on the collars. Replace the
seals if they are in poor condition.
Turn the inner race of each bearing with
your finger to see if they turn smoothly and
quietly. Also check if the outer race fits
tightly in the hub. Replace the bearings if the
races do not turn smoothly, quietly, or if they
fit loosely in the hub.
Axle Runout
Set the axle in V blocks and measure the
runout using a dial gauge.
Check the front axle runout. The axle runout
specification is half of the total indicator
reading.
The actual runout is 1/2 of the total indicator
reading.
