Emergency Front Wheel Removal/Installation
Should You Repair or Replace a Tire?
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If You Have a Flat Tire
Safety Precautions
Avoid depressing the brake lever and brake pedal when the wheel is off the
motorcycle. This will force the caliper pistons out of the cylinders. The
result will be a loss of brake fluid. If this occurs, the brake system will
require service.
See your Honda dealer for this service.
Avoid getting grease, oil, or dirt on the disc or pad surfaces. Any
contamination can cause poor brake performance or rapid pad wear after
reassembly.
To avoid damage to the brake hose during removal, support the caliper
assembly so that it doesn’t hang from the hose. Do not twist the brake hose.
When removing and installing the wheel, be careful not to damage the
sensor and pulser ring.
Remove the parts in sequence, according to the order in the illustration.
Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a support block under the
engine, being careful to avoid contact with the exhaust pipe and front lower
cover.
Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface.
Removal
We recommend wheel removal be done only by your Honda dealer or another
qualified mechanic. Do not attempt to remove the wheel on your own. Wheel
removal requires mechanical skill and professional tools.
Refer to on page .
We strongly recommend that you replace, not permanently repair, any tire that is
punctured or damaged, even if the tire has only a minor puncture. For a full
discussion of repairs and replacement, see page .
