Checking the front wheel sensor and sensor rotor
1. Check:
- Front wheel sensor «1». Cracks/bends/distortion → Replace. Iron powder/dust → Clean.
2. Check:
- Front wheel sensor rotor «2». Cracks/damage → Replace the front wheel assembly.
Note: The wheel sensor rotor of the vehicle is inserted under pressure by a special process and cannot be replaced as a single unit. To replace the sensor rotor, replace the wheel assembly.
Installing the front wheel sensor
1. Install:
- Front wheel
Note: Align the slot in the sensor housing with the projection of the front fork before assembly.

2. Install:
- Front wheel sensor «1»
Front wheel sensor bolt: 7 Nm (0.7 m·kg, 5.1 ft·lb).
- Brake caliper «2»
- Front wheel sensor lead holder «3»
Front brake caliper bolt: 40 Nm (4.0 m·kg, 29 ft·lb).
- Brake hose holder «4»
Note: When installing the front wheel sensor, check the wheel sensor lead for twists and the sensor electrode for foreign materials.
Caution! To route the front wheel sensor lead, refer to «Cable routing».
3. Check:
