10. Tighten axle nut to 95-105 ft-lbs (129-142 Nm). Install E-
clip.
Check wheel bearing end play after tightening axle nut to
specified torque. Excessive end play can adversely affect
stability and handling and can cause loss of control, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00285b)

Whenever a wheel is installed and before moving the
motorcycle, pump brakes to build brake system pressure.
Insufficient pressure can adversely affect brake perform-
ance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00284a)

Inspection
1.
Inspect the play of the wheel bearings by finger while they
are in the wheel. Rotate the inner bearing race and check
for abnormal noise. Make sure bearing rotates smoothly.
2.
Check wheel bearings and axle spacers for wear and
corrosion. Excessive play or roughness indicates worn
bearings. Replace bearings in sets only.
Removal
1.
If not already done, remove wheel from motorcycle. See
. On models with a single front brake caliper,
remove hub plate from wheel on side opposite front brake
disc.

See
. Some wheel hubs may not provide adequate
support for the puller bridge. In these cases, center a used

NOTES
•
Always loosen the appropriate spokes before tightening
the other two. Reversing this procedure will cause the rim
to become out-of-round.
•
Tighten or loosen spokes one flat at a time and recheck
measurement.
•
Always work on groups that are opposite each other to
maintain radial runout.
5.
If the dimension is not correct, adjust the four spokes using
SPOKE NIPPLE WRENCH (Part No. HD-94681-80). For
example: if the
right
side is

(4). If using a dial indicator, place the tip on the safety
bead hump.
2.
If working with a straight flange hub, seat each spoke head
in the hub flange using a flat nose punch and mallet.
NOTES
•
Always loosen the appropriate spokes, using SPOKE
NIPPLE WRENCH (Part No. HD-94681-80), before tight-
ening the other two. Reversing this procedure will cause
the rim to become out of round.
•
Tighten or loosen spoke, one flat at a time, and recheck
measurement. Small changes in the spokes can make
large changes in the runout.
•
Always work on groups that are opposite each other to
maintain radial runout.
3.
Spin the rim slowly and check distance (2). The rim should
be true within 0.030 in (0.76 mm).
a.
If the rim contacts the gauge on or near a marked
group of spokes, loosen the spokes in the group on
the opposite side of the rim. Then tighten the spokes
in the group where the rim makes contact an equal
number of turns.
b.
If the rim contacts the gauge between two marked
groups, loosen the spokes in both groups on the
opposite side of the rim. Then tighten the spoke
groups on the side of the rim that makes contact an
equal number of turns.
4.
When the wheel is centered and trued, start at the valve
stem hole and tighten any loose spoke nipples one turn
at a time until they are snug.
5.
Working alternately across the wheel, use SPOKE
TORQUE WRENCH (Part No. HD-48985) evenly tighten
all spokes to specification listed in
6.
If working with a straight flange hub, verify each spoke
head is seated in the hub flange using a flat nose punch
and mallet.
7.
Verify radial runout is still within specification.
8.
After you have verified that radial runout is still within
specification, proceed to lateral runout.
Spokes that are too tight can draw nipples through the rim
or distort hub flanges. Spokes that are too loose can
continue to loosen when put in service. Either condition
can adversely affect stability and handling, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00286a)

NOTES
•
Always loosen the appropriate spokes before tightening

to become out of round.
•
Tighten or loosen spoke, one flat at a time, and recheck
measurement. Small changes in the spokes can make

3.
Again working in groups of four, loosen two spokes on the
tight side and tighten the two spokes on the loose side.
4.
Repeat with each group until wheel is within specification.
5.
Verify all spoke nipples are tightened to the specification.
Refer to
.
6.
If the tire is removed from the rim, file or grind off ends of
spokes that protrude through the nipples to prevent
puncturing tube or rim seal when tire is mounted.

FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
GENERAL
The front brake master cylinder designed for dual disc (two
caliper) operation has a larger bore than the master cylinder
designed for single disc (one caliper) operation.
See
. The bore size is cast into the side of the
master cylinder body facing the handlebar.
•
The single disc master cylinder has "11" (11 mm) cast into
the body.
•
The dual disc master cylinder has "1/2" (1/2 in) cast into
the body.
NOTE
Use only CCI #20 BRAKE GREASE to lubricate master cylinder
bores, pistons, primary cups and secondary cups. Use only
KS62F assembly grease on caliper pistons and piston seals.
Use only G40M BRAKE GREASE on the caliper pins and boots,
brake lever pivot hole, and the end of the piston that contacts
the brake lever.
Do not use parts from single caliper repair kits (9/16 inch
bore) on dual caliper models. Likewise, do not use parts
from dual caliper repair kits (11/16 inch bore) on single
caliper models. Using incorrect parts can cause brake
failure, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00278a)
D.O.T. 4 brake fluid will damage painted and body panel
surfaces it comes in contact with. Always use caution and
protect surfaces from spills whenever brake work is per-
formed. Failure to comply can result in cosmetic damage.
(00239b)
NOTE
If DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID contacts painted surfaces, IMMEDI-
ATELY flush area with clear water.
INSPECTION
1.
Check the fluid level in the front brake reservoir. If it is low,

Figure 2-52. Install Cardboard Insert Before Removing
Master Cylinder Assembly
Do not remove or install the master cylinder assembly
without first positioning a 5/32-inch (4 mm) thick insert
between the brake lever and lever bracket. Removing or
installing the master cylinder assembly without the insert
in place may result in damage to the rubber boot and
plunger on the front stoplight switch. (00324a)
NOTE
Use the eyelet of an ordinary cable strap if the cardboard insert
is not available.
6.
See
. Remove the two screws (6) and washers
(7) securing the handlebar clamp (8) to the master cylinder
housing (5). Remove the brake lever/master cylinder
assembly and clamp from the handlebar.
DISASSEMBLY
Wear safety glasses or goggles when removing or
installing retaining rings. Retaining rings can slip from the
pliers and could be propelled with enough force to cause
serious eye injury. (00312a)
NOTE
Use correct retaining ring pliers and correct tips. Verify that
tips are not excessively worn or damaged.
1.
See
. Remove retaining ring (17) from pivot
pin (9) groove at bottom of master cylinder bracket. Dis-
card retaining ring.
2.
Remove pivot pin and brake hand lever (18) from master
cylinder assembly.
3.
Remove and discard dust boot (16).
NOTE
See
. Clamp front brake master cylinder in a vise
by the mirror mounting boss only. Use brass or aluminum jaw
covers or other protective device on vise jaws to prevent
damage to master cylinder.
4.
See
. Clamp master cylinder in a vise so that
banjo fitting hole is pointing straight down.
Wear safety glasses or goggles when removing or
installing retaining rings. Retaining rings can slip from the
pliers and could be propelled with enough force to cause
serious eye injury. (00312a)
5.
See
. Press down on end of piston and remove
retaining ring (15). Discard retaining ring.
6.
Single disc piston assembly:
remove stop plate (22).
7.
Remove and discard piston assembly (12, 13, 14) and
piston spring (11).
NOTES
•
See
. Both primary (12) and secondary (13)
cups are fitted into grooves in the piston body (14). The
piston spring (11) fits onto the end of the piston.
•
Always clean the cover before removal. This prevents dirt
and other contaminants from entering the master cylinder
reservoir.
8.
Remove two screws (1), cover (2), diaphragm plate (3)
and diaphragm (4) from the master cylinder reservoir.
