CAUTION

• The wheel speed detection magnetic encoder collects metallic particles easily, because it is mag-

netised. Make sure that the magnetic encoder should not collect metallic particles. Check that
there is not any trouble prior to reassembling it.

• When removing and installing the front wheel hub assembly, make sure that the magnetic encoder

for wheel speed detection (integrated with the inner oil seal) does not contact with surrounding
parts to avoid damage.

• When removing and installing the front wheel speed sensor, make sure that the pole piece at the

end does not contact with surrounding parts to avoid damage.

•

Post-installation operation
