WARNING
- NEVER ACTIVATE THE BRAKE LEVER WHEN THE FRONT WHEEL IS
DISASSEMBLED
- ALWAYS POSITION THE WHEEL WITH THE BRAKE DISC UPWARDS TO
PREVENT DAMAGE.
To re-assemble the front wheel, insert it carefully into the fork, taking care
to insert the disc correctly between the brake pads without damaging
them. Position it correctly and mount the wheel axle.
Screw and temporarily tighten the flanged nut (7) until the wheel shim
is locked, tighten the locking screws (8) on the right fork shoe to pre -
vent the wheel axle from turning and tighten the flanged nut at 40 Nm.
Tighten the locking screws on the left fork leg at 12Nm. Loosen the
locking screws on the right shoe again, remove the motrcycle from the
stand, activate the front brake and force the fork down several times to
align the rods. End by definitively tightening the locking screws on the
right fork shoe at 12Nm.
- IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DYNAMOMETRIC WRENCH WHEN MOUNTING,
HAVE THE TIGHTENING TORQUE CHECKED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN
A SPECIALISED TM WORKSHOP. A LOOSE WHEEL AXLE CAN CAUSE
UNSTABLE DRIVING.
- AFTER HAVING MOUNTED THE FRONT WHEEL, REPEATEDLY ACTIVATE
THE BRAKE LEVER UNTIL THE PAD ADHERES TO THE DISC AGAIN.
- THE BRAKE DISC MUST ALWAYS BE PERFECTLY CLEAN FROM OIL
AND GREASE. ON THE CONTRARY, THE BRAKING EFFECT WOULD BE
GREATLY REDUCED.
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF THE REAR
WHEEL (ALL EXCEPT SMM)
Rest the motor cycle with the frame cradle on a stand, in a way that
the rear wheel does not touch the ground. Unscrew the flanged nut
(9) and, supporting the wheel, extract the wheel axle (10), remove the
chain-tensioning slide (11), remove the chain from the sprocket, remove
the caliper with its support and carefully extract the rear wheel from the
swing arm. Pay attention to the thin wheel shim (sprocket side) and thick
shim (brake side).
WARNING
- DO NOT ACTIVATE THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE REAR WHEEL HAS
BEEN DISASSEMBLED.
- ALWAYS POSITION THE WHEEL WITH THE BRAKE DISC UPWARDS TO
PREVENT DAMAGE.
- WHEN THE WHEEL AXLE IS DISASSEMBLED THE WHEEL AXLE THREADS
AND THE THREADS OF THE FLANGED NUT MUST BE WELL CLEANED.
RE-GREASE THEM TO PREVENT SEIZING OF THE THREADS.
To assemble, insert the thin spacer (sprocket) into the hub, position the
chain tensioners, insert the wheel into the swing arm and, supporting the
wheel, position the caliper with its support and mount the chain onto the
sprocket. Insert the axle from the sprocket side into half the wheel to permit
positioning of the thick spacer (brake side). Finish inserting the axle, insert
the chain-tensioner slide, screw the nut and tighten it at 80 Nm. Before
tightening the flanged nut push the rear wheel forward until the chain
tensioners are in contatct with the heads of the adjusting screws.
DANGER
- IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DYNAMOMETRIC WRENCH WHEN MOUNTING,
HAVE THE TIGHTENING TORQUE CHECKED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN
A SPECIALISED TM WORKSHOP. A LOOSE WHEEL AXLE CAN CAUSE
UNSTABLE DRIVING.
- THE BRAKE DISC MUST ALWAYS BE PERFECTLY CLEAN FROM OIL
AND GREASE. ON THE CONTRARY, THE BRAKING EFFECT WOULD BE
GREATLY REDUCED.
- AFTER HAVING RE-ASSEMBLED THE REAR WHEEL ALWAYS ACTIVATE
THE BRAKE PEDAL SO THAT THE PADS ADHERE TO THE DISC AGAIN.
- TIGHTEN THE FLANGED NUT WITH THE ESTABLISHED TIGHTENNG-
TORQUE. A LOOSE WHEEL AXLE CAN LEAD TO UNSTABLE DRIVING.
