NSR 150 SP Owner's Manual: Wheel Removal

WHEEL REMOVAL

(Refer to the maintenance precaution)

Front Wheel Removal

1.    Support the motorcycle with the maintenance stand

2.    Raise the front wheel off the ground by hoisting the top bridge.

3.    Remove the speedometer cable (1) by removing screw (2).

4.    Remove the axle nut (3).

5.    Remove the axle shaft (4) and the wheel.

NOTE:

Do not depress the brake lever when the wheel is off the motorcycle. The caliper pistons will be forced out of the cylinders with subsequent loss of the brake fluid. If this occurs, servicing of the brake system will be necessary. See your authorized Honda dealer for this service.

Installation notes:

Reverse the removal procedure. Position the front wheel between the fork legs and insert the axle shaft from left side, through the left fork leg and wheel hub. Tighten the axle nut to the specified torque. Axle nut torque: 59 N.m (6.0 kgf.m, 43 Ibf.ft). 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.

WARNING

If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify proper assembly. Improper assembly may lead loss of braking capacity.

2.    With the rear wheel on the ground, loosen the wheel nuts (1) while applying the rear brake.

3.    Raise the rear wheel off the ground with the maintenance stand.

4.    Remove the wheel nuts.

5.    Remove the rear wheel (2).

Installation notes:

Reverse the removal procedure. Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque. Wheel nut torque: 108 N.m (11.0 kgf.m, 80 Ibf.ft).
