and should NEVER be removed or tightened. The axle bolt on the
30-mm Axle Bushing (right) end of the axle is also installed by
Rekluse and should NEVER be removed.

Note: This manual refers to right and left as you would be sitting on
the motorcycle.

Basic e-Axle Function
The e-Axle is an eccentric offset front axle that allows the rider to
adjust the front wheel offset also known as front wheel trail, to change
the handling characteristics of the motorcycle. Simply loosen the fork
fist pinch bolts holding both ends of the axle, rotate the e-Axle by
turning the Axle Bolt on the 30-mm Bushing end (right end) to adjust
the front wheel offset, align the wheel, and tighten the fork fist pinch
bolts.
Bike Preparation and Disassembly

1.
Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand so the front tire is no
longer touching the ground.

2.
Refer to your Owners Manual and remove the stock front axle
and front wheel. Stow the wheel in a suitable place so that the
brake rotor cannot be damaged.

3.
Using a 10-mm wrench remove the 8-mm (10-mm Head) bolt
from the 26-mm Flanged Bushing end (left end) of the e-axle.
The 26-mm flanged bushing has a smaller diameter than the
larger 30-mm bushing. Slide the 26-mm bushing off of the
center axle followed by the two wheel spacers. See following
picture.

Warning: The M8 set screws in each bushing are installed by
Rekluse and should NEVER be removed.

The 30-mm bushing and right end axle bolt are
assembled by Rekluse and should NEVER be removed
from the center axle.



e-Axle Installation

4.
Remove the stock wheel spacers from both sides of the wheel
hub and install both of the Rekluse wheel spacers. After
installing the Rekluse wheel spacers, stow the wheel in a
suitable place so that the brake rotor cannot be damaged. See
following picture.

5.
Remove the brake pads by removing the clips and sliding out
the pin. See following picture.




6.
Remove the leaf spring from the caliper. See following
picture.



7.
Re-install the brake pads with the included coil spring
positioned on the pin between the brake pads. Secure the pin
by re-installing the 2 clips. See following picture.

8.
Coat the center axle in a thin layer of grease to aid in sliding the
center axle on and off.

Note: Coat the center axle in a thin layer every time it is re-
installed after removing the front wheel for tire maintenance.

9.
Position the front wheel back in between the forks so that the
brake disk is in place between the brake pads, and so the
wheel spacers line up with the hole in the fork fists.

10.
Slide the center axle, with 30-mm Bushing attached, through
the right-side fork fist and through the wheel spacers in the front
hub. Rotate the 30-mm bushing so the set screw is facing up,
this will line the 0 Offset Mark with the fork fist pinch clamp
slot. Continue sliding the axle through until the 30-mm bushing
is almost flush with the outer edge of the right fork fist. See
following picture.




7
11.
Slide the 26-mm Flanged Bushing onto the left-end of the
Center Axle through the left fork fist by positioning the bushing
with the set screw facing up, this will allow the bushing to slide
over the end of the center axle with the set screw indexing
against the flat on the left-end of the axle. Slide the 26-mm
bushing in until its flange is flush against the outer edge of the
left fork fist. See following picture.

Note: You may need to rock the wheel back and forth to get the 26-mm
bushing to slide over the end of the center axle and through the left fork fist.



12.
Moderately tighten the 2 right-side fork fist pinch clamp bolts to
secure the 30-mm Bushing.

13.
Install the 8-mm bolt into the left-end of the center axle and
torque to 18 foot pounds (24 newton meters) with a 10-mm
wrench.




14.
Loosen the 2 right-side fork fist pinch clamp bolts so the axle is
free to rotate.

Setting the e-Axle

15.
Using a 6-mm hex key, rotate the right end axle bolt to line up
one of the Offset Marks with the Fork Fist Pinch Clamp Slot.
Each Offset Mark represents 1-mm of change in front wheel
positionthere is a maximum of 3-mm in the negative direction
(moving the wheel back), and 2-mm in the positive direction
(moving the wheel forward). Do not adjust past the maximum
positive offset mark.

In general, the maximum negative setting improves straight line
stability and increases front wheel traction when cornering, but
increases steering effort.

The maximum positive setting pushes the front wheel out giving
lighter feeling steering, but reduces straight line stability, See
following pictures.

16.
Set the e-Axle to the desired offset and moderately tighten the
2 left-side (26-mm Flanged Bushing end) fork fist pinch clamp
bolts. Pump the front brake lever until the pressure point
returns between the brake pads and rotor.

17.
Take the motorcycle off of the stand, hold the front brake, and
compress the forks a few times to align the front wheel.

18.
Torque both right and left-side fork fist pinch clamp bolts to 11
ft-lbs (15 N-m).

Adjusting the e-Axle

19.
Loosen both right and left-side fork fist pinch clamp bolts.

20.
Using a 10-mm wrench or 6-mm hex key rotate either axle bolt
to turn the axle to the desired offset.

21.
Re-tighten both right and left-side fork fist pinch clamp bolts.

Axle Removal

22.
Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.

23.
Using a 10-mm wrench, remove the left-end axle bolt and
washer.

24.
Loosen both right and left-side fork fist pinch clamp bolts.

25.
Slide a suitable pulling tool (screw driver, 4-mm hex key, etc.)
through the holes in the right-end (25-mm bushing end) axle bolt.
And pull the axle out. See following picture.




Note: Removing the left-side axle bushing (20-mm Flange
Bushing) from the left-side fork fist clamp may allow the axle to
slide out easier.
