• Insert a new cotter pin [A].

NOTE

• When inserting the cotter pin, if the slots in the nut do not align with the cotter pin hole in the axle, tighten the nut clockwise [B] up to next alignment.
• It should be within 30 degrees.
• Loosen once and tighten again when the slot goes past the nearest hole.

WARNING

A loose axle nut can lead to an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Tighten the axle nut to the proper torque and install a new cotter pin.

• Install the rear wheel rotation sensor (see Rear Wheel Rotation Sensor Installation in the Brakes chapter).
• Check the rear brake effectiveness (see Brake Operation Inspection in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).

WARNING

After servicing, it takes several applications of the brake pedal before the brake pads contact the disc, which could result in increased stopping distance and cause an accident resulting in injury or death.

Do not attempt to ride the motorcycle until a firm brake pedal is obtained by pumping the pedal until the pads are against the disc.
