Front Wheel Installation
1. Install the side collars into the left and
right side wheel hub.
Position the front wheel between the fork
legs and insert the front axle shaft from
the left side, through the left fork leg and
wheel hub.
2. Align the index line (6) of the front axle
shaft with the surface (7) of the fork leg.
3. Tighten the axle pinch bolts on the left fork
leg to the specified torque:
22 N·m (2.2 Kgf·m , 16 lbf·ft)
4. Tighten the axle bolt to the specified
torque:
59 N·m (6.0 Kgf·m , 44 lbf·ft)
5. Install the brake calipers onto the fork
legs. To avoid damaging the brake pads,
carefully fits the brake disc (8) between
the pads.
• When installing the brake caliper, be
carefull not to damage the sensor and
pulser ring. (NT700VA)
6. Install the caliper fixing bolts and tighten
to the specified torque:
31 N·m (3.2 Kgf·m , 23 lbf·ft)
7. Operate the front brake and pump the fork
several times. Check for free wheel
rotation after the brake is released.
Recheck the wheel if the brake drags or
the wheel does not rotate freely.
8. If the clearances between each surface of
the brake disc and the brake bracket (9)
(not the brake pads) are symmetrical,
follow next step.
If the clearances are not symmetrical,
loosen the left axle pinch bolts and pull the
left fork outward or push inward to adjust
the clearance. Then follow the next step.
