TIGHTENING TORQUES
EAS2GBB065GENERAL TIGHTENING TORQUE SPECIFI-
CATIONS
This chart specifies tightening torques for stan-
dard fasteners with a standard ISO thread
pitch. Tightening torque specifications for spe-
cial components or assemblies are provided for
each chapter of this manual. To avoid warpage,
tighten multi-fastener assemblies in a criss-
cross pattern and progressive stages until the
specified tightening torque is reached. Unless
otherwise specified, tightening torque specifi-
cations require clean, dry threads. Compo-
nents should be at room temperature.

WARNING
If you need to disassemble the disc brake
components, observe the following precau-
tions.
• Never disassemble the brake components
unless absolutely necessary.
• If there is any problem with connections
on the hydraulic brake system, perform
the following jobs.
Disassemble the brake system, drain the
brake fluid, and clean it. After that, add a
suitable amount of brake fluid. Then, bleed
it after reassembly.
• Use only brake fluid for washing internal
brake components.
• Use new brake fluid for cleaning the brake
components.
• Immediately wipe off the spilled brake fluid
to avoid damage to painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
• Handle brake fluid with special care not to
let it enter your eyes so that you may not
lost your eyesight.
• FIRST AID FOR BRAKE FLUID ENTERING
THE EYES:
• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.
EAS2GBB182CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE DISC
1. Remove:
• Rear wheel
Refer to “REAR WHEEL” on page 5-9.
2. Check:
• Brake disc
Damage/galling  Replace.
3. Measure:
• Brake disc thickness
Measure the brake disc thickness at a few
different locations.
Out of specification  Replace.
Refer to “CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE
DISC” on page 5-17.
4. Measure:
• Brake disc deflection
Out of specification  Correct the brake disc
deflection or replace the brake disc.5. Adjust:
• Brake disc deflection
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Remove the brake disc.
b. Turn the mounted position of the brake disc
by one bolt hole.
c. Install the brake disc.
TIP
Tighten the brake disc bolts in stages and in a
crisscross pattern.
d. Measure the brake disc deflection.
e. If out of specification, repeat the adjustment
steps until the brake disc deflection is within
specification.
f. If the brake disc deflection cannot be
brought within specification, replace the
brake disc.
