MAINTENANCE OF THE FRONT WHEEL 
SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
NOTICE
ECA23P1006

Handle the ABS components with care 
since they have been accurately adjusted. 
Keep them away from dirt and do not sub-
ject them to shocks.
 The front wheel sensor cannot be disas-
sembled. Do not attempt to disassemble it. 
If faulty, replace with a new one.
 Keep magnets (including magnetic pick-up 
tools, magnetic screwdrivers, etc.) away 
from the wheel sensor rotor.
 Do not drop or shock the wheel sensor or 
the wheel sensor rotor.
1. Check: Front wheel sensor  “1”
Cracks/bends/distortion   Replace.
Iron powder/dust   Clean.
2. Check: Front wheel sensor rotor  “1”
Cracks/damage/scratches   Replace the 
front wheel sensor rotor.
Iron powder/dust/solvent   Clean.
TIP
The wheel sensor rotor is installed on the inner 
side of the wheel hub.
 When cleaning the wheel sensor rotor, be 
careful not to damage the surface of the rotor 
magnet.

3. Measure: Wheel sensor rotor deflection
Out of specification   Clean the installation 
surface of the wheel sensor rotor and correct 
the wheel sensor rotor deflection, or replace 
the wheel sensor rotor.
▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼ ▼▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼ ▼▼▼▼
a. Hold the dial gauge at a right angle against 
the wheel sensor rotor surface.
b. Measure the wheel sensor rotor deflection.
TIP
Do not touch the surface of the rotor magnet with 
a sharp object.
c. If the deflection is above specification, re-
move the sensor rotor from the wheel, rotate 
it by two or three bolt holes, and then install it.
NOTICE
ECA23P1007
Replace the wheel sensor rotor bolts with 
new ones. d. If the deflection is still above specification, re-
place the wheel sensor rotor.

 Keep magnets (including magnetic pick-up 
tools, magnetic screwdrivers, etc.) away 
from the wheel sensor rotor.
 Do not drop the wheel sensor rotor or sub-
ject it to shocks.
 If any solvent gets on the wheel sensor ro-
tor, wipe it off immediately.
1. Install: Wheel bearings

Do not contact the wheel bearing inner race 
“1”  or balls  “2”. Contact should be made 
only with the outer race  “3”.
TIP
Use a socket “4” that matches the diameter of 
the wheel bearing outer race.
b. Install the spacer.
c. Install the new wheel bearing (right side).
TIP
Place a suitable washer  “1” between the socket 
“2”  and the bearing so that both the inner race 
“3”  and outer race  “4” are pressed at the same 
time, and then press the bearing until the inner 
race makes contact with the spacer  “5”.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT WHEEL STATIC 
BALANCE
TIP
 After replacing the tire, wheel, or both, the front 
wheel static balance should be adjusted.
 Adjust the front wheel static balance with the 
brake discs installed.
1. Remove: Balancing weight(s)
2. Find:
Front wheel ’s heavy spot
TIP
Place the front wheel on a suitable balancing 
stand.
▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼ ▼▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼ ▼▼▼▼
a. Spin the front wheel. b. When the front wheel stops, put an “X
1”
 mark 
at the bottom of the wheel.
c. Turn the front wheel 90 ° so that the “X
1”
 mark 
is positioned as shown.
d. Release the front wheel.
e. When the wheel stops, put an  “X
2”
 mark at 
the bottom of the wheel.
f. Repeat steps (c) through (e) several times  until all the marks come to rest at the same 
spot.
g. The spot where all the marks come to rest is 
the front wheel ’s heavy spot  “X”.
