Torque: 103 N.m (1,050 kgf.cm, 76 ft.lbf)
- Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.39 in.) from the outer edge of the rear disc.
Maximum disc runout: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation positions of the disc and axle so that the runout will become minimal. If the runout exceeds the maximum even when the installation positions are changed, grind the disc. If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the rear disc.
