REAR WHEEL REMOVAL
Ensure the motorcycle is on a firm, flat surface and the rear wheel is off the ground.
Gently remove the brake hose along with its rubber grommets from the locating clips on the
swing arm.
Loosen rear axle nut on the right side and remove along with washer.
Pull out the wheel axle from the left side, taking care not to drop the wheel spacers.
Remove the brake caliper assembly from the slot in the swing arm and support it suitably, to
avoid damage to the brake hose.
Slide out the rear wheel from the swing arm, taking care not to drop the spacers on the wheel hub.
MINOR MAINTENANCE TIPS

Do not press the brake pedal when wheel is removed as this will result in the brake pads coming out
too far from the brake caliper.

the event the brake pedal is pressed accidentally.
