Warning!
- Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
- A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
- An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
1. Raise and support the rear of the motorcycle to allow removal of the rear wheel.
Warning! If the engine has recently been running, the exhaust system will be hot. Before working on or near the exhaust system, allow sufficient time for the exhaust system to cool as touching any part of a hot exhaust system could cause burn injuries.
2. Remove the nut from the rear wheel spindle.

4. Noting its position, release the brake caliper and carrier from the slot on the swinging arm and roll the wheel forward until the chain can be detached from the rear sprocket.
