Refitting the front mudguard
Warning
Do not use the motorcycle without the front mudguard fitted to avoid the risk of the brake pipes fouling the wheel on braking.
 
Position the ABS sensor mounting bracket (E) onto left-hand fork leg.
Engage ABS sensor cable (B) in its inner fastener (D) on front mudguard (1) and refit dust seal (C).
Position the front mudguard (1) and start the special screws (5), using the recommended threadlocker.
Insert brake rubber block (A) into grommet (4) and ensure it is centred.
Fold the grommet (4), secure it by starting and tightening the screw (9) to a torque of 0.4 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).
Tighten the screws (5) to a torque of 5 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).
It is necessary to check the air-gap between the speed sensor (F) and the phonic wheel (G).
For this purpose, use a feeler gauge (A) to check the air-gap; then, carry out 4 measures of the air-gap, one every 90° of wheel turn.
Phonic wheel sensor AIR GAP range is 1.3 mm to 1.9 mm.
 
Removing the rear mudguard
Undo the screws (7), remove the grommet (6) with spacers (10) and then remove the rear mudguard (8) from the swinging arm.
Refitting the rear mudguard
Set the rear mudguard (8) onto the swinging arm, starting the screws (7) in their thread with the recommended threadlocker, and fitting, on the front one, the spacer (10) and the grommet (12).
Tighten the screws (7) to a torque of 5 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).
