13.5g under the condition that the measuring rotating
velocity is 796 r/m and the locking rotating velocity is
786 r/m, when the amplitude value is larger than 13.5 g,
encase the counter balanced clip, which is 4 g each, at the
corresponding phase, the number of the clip encased
should not be more than four.
7. Bearing outer race change

bly as well as the front wheel hub oil seal.
Coat the lithium base grease of (4-5)mm on the inner surfaces
of bearing outer race and the front wheel hub, encase the
Bearing 32007 inner race and roller assembly, plaster the
lubricant again. Coat a little lubricant on the lips of front wheel
hub oil seal and then tap it in place.
Notice: do not make the lubricant contact the front brake
disc face.
2. Mount on the Bearing 32007 inner race.
After coating the bearing outer race with the lithium base
grease of 4-5 mm, encase the inner race and roller assembly of
Bearing 30205, and plaster the lubricant again.

it with the bracket.
(b) Tread down the brake pedal after verifying that the front
wheel are in straight line.
(c) Move the arm vertically to check the lower ball stud to see
whether the clearance is overlarge.
Max vertical clearance : 0.5mm
2. Check the upper ball stud to see whether it is over-loose.
Move the wheel vertically to check whether the clearance of
the ball stud is over large.
3. Check the rotating performance of ball stud
(a) Take apart the ball stud.
(b) Shake the ball stud several times forward and backward
before mounting on the nut, as shown in the drawing.
(c) Rotate the nut continuously with a torsion meter, which
rotates the nut round per 2 to 4 seconds, and read the
reading of the torsion meter after the fifth round.
