I am changing up the look of my 900 Custom by swapping out the front wheel with one from a Classic. The wheel is used from Ebay and came off a 2008 Classic from Florida.
My question is what are some things I should do/know when switching out wheels. The bike it came off of was running and driving when it was disassembled. There was a video of the actual bike running and driving in the Ebay listing. So I would guess that it is straight.
Should I grease the bearings?
What is the toque for the axle nut?
What is the toque for the fork Allen bolt that locks the axle?
What is the toque for the brake rotor?
I mounted it up with no rotor just to make sure it rolls smooth. It was a bit sketchy driving without a front brake, but everything seemed good. The new wheel was an INSTANT attitude adjustment. I am going to disassemble it tomorrow and clean everything and mount the rotor and paint my lower forks. Tell me what you guys think.
The seller was Fallen Cycles, they part out motorcycles for online sale. I got my wheel in 3 days. From Florida to Iowa that is fast. If you need OEM parts and don't mind used ones check them out.
