6. Slide the front wheel forward.
NOTE: Never squeeze the front brake
lever with the front wheel removed. It

reverse the sequence described
above.
8. After installing the wheel, apply
the front brake several times to
restore the proper lever stroke.

WARNING
Failure to extend brake pads after
installing the wheel can cause
poor braking performance and
may result in an accident.
Before riding, “pump” the brake
lever repeatedly until the brake
pads are pressed against the
brake disks and proper lever
stroke and firm feel are restored.
Also check that the wheel rotates
freely.
WARNING
Installing the front wheel in the
reverse direction can be hazard-
ous. The tire for this motorcycle is
directional. Therefore, the motor-
cycle may have unusual handling
if the wheel is installed incorrectly.
Install the front wheel so that the
tire rotates in the specified direc-
tion, as indicated by the arrow on
the sidewall of the tire.
WARNING
If the bolts and nuts are not prop-
erly tightened, the wheel can
come off, causing an accident.
Be sure to tighten the bolts and
nuts to the specified torque. If you
do not have a torque wrench or do
not know how to use one, ask
your authorized Suzuki dealer to
check the bolts and nuts.
