INSTALLATION
NOTE
Use plastic protectors on tire mounting tools and rim clamps when mounting a tire to a painted wheel.
For wide low profile tires a tire mounting machine with a second arm to press down on the sidewall while the wheel is rotating is recommended.
When mounting tires, liberally use tire lube on the wheel and tire
For tire removal, use plastic inserts between the rim and tire after breaking the bead to create a large enough gap for the rim clamps to get into.
| 1. | Remove existing rear wheel assembly. Save axle, axle nut, brake disc, and wheel spacers for kit installation. Refer to REAR WHEEL in Service Manual. NOTE Prior to removing or installing the wheel, the rear brake caliper must be removed. The cotter pin or spring clip for the axle nut must be replaced. They are available for purchase from your dealer. See your dealer for the correct part number for your model motorcycle. NOTE Install short valve stem (43157-83A) included in the installation kit. Discard all other valve stems. | |
| 2. | See Figure 1. Install valve stem assembly (H) on wheel. Refer to TIRES in service manual. | |
NOTICE Do not re-use brake disc/rotor screws. Re-using these screws can result in torque loss and damage to brake components. (00319c) NOTICE Do not re-use sprocket mounting screws. Re-using sprocket mounting screws can result in torque loss and damage to the sprocket and/or belt assembly. (00480b) | ||
| 3. | Assemble wheel installation kit components, stock brake disc, and sprocket compensator bowl to wheel using the appropriate service parts table. Refer to REAR WHEEL in service manual. NOTE The primary bearing is installed on the brake disc side of the wheel. Install the primary bearing first using appropriate service manual and WHEEL BEARING REMOVER/INSTALLER. The shims provided in the installation kits are not required for these wheels and can be discarded. | |
