removing the front wheel

[Kento-Moto]

So I installed new shoes on the 08 today... the front axle is a little different than Gen I. The owners manual ( sec 7 page 39-40 ) says to tighten the bolt / nut and keeper bolts to Torq spec... anyone know what that the spec is?

Also what procedure would you use to remove / re-install the front rim?


Thanks - K

Front Axle nut 72.5 lb ft of torque
Front pinch bolts (4 of them) 16.5 lb ft of torque

To remove front rim first you have to loosen calipers and move them aside ,take off axle nut , loosen and remove pinch bolts and then use one of these to remove axle so you can take wheel off.
