4. Tighten:
lPinch bolt (handle crown) 1
lPinch bolt (under bracket) 2
CAUTION:
Tighten the under bracket to specified
torque. If torqued too much, it may cause
the front fork to malfunction.
5. Install:
lBrake hose holder 1
lCaliper 2
lBolt (caliper) 3
NOTE:
Fit the brake hose holder cut a over the pro-
jection b on the front fork and clamp the brake
hose.
6. Install:
lBrake hose holder 1
lBolt (brake hose holder) 2
lProtector 3
lBolt (protector) 4
NOTE:
When installing the brake hose holder, pass
the brake hose 5 in front of the axle boss a,
then fit it into the hose groove b so that the
brake hose does not contact the nut (wheel
axle).
