Rear Wheel Installation
• Reverse the removal procedure to install
the wheel.
• When installing the brake caliper bracket,
be carefull not to damage the sensor and
pulser ring (NT700VA).
• Before installing the rear wheel, check that
the wheel hub and final drive gear splines
are coated with grease.
• Be sure the splines on the wheel hub fit
into the final gear case.
• Before installing the muffler, replace the
muffler gasket with a new gasket.
After installing the wheel, apply the brake
several times and then check if the wheel
rotates freely. Recheck the wheel if the brake
drags or if the wheel does not rotate freely.
If the caliper bracket cannot be inserted
between the swingarm and wheel collar,
align the holes in the swingarm and wheel
collar, then carefully drive it into position with
a plastic hammer.
• Tighten and torque the following nuts and
bolts:
Rear axle nut torque:
89 N·m (9.1 kgf·m, 66 Ibf·ft)
Rear axle holding bolt torque:
32 N·m (3.3 kgf·m, 24 Ibf·ft)
Rear brake stopper bolt torque:
89 N·m (9.1 kgf·m, 66 Ibf·ft)
Bolts B torque:
17 N·m (1.7 kgf·m, 13 Ibf·ft)
If a torque wrench was not used for
installation, see your Honda dealer as soon as
possible to verify proper assembly. Improper
assembly may lead to loss of braking
capacity.
