Removal
NOTES
• Always keep the wheel speed sensor (WSS) and ABS encoder bearing away from magnetic fields. Items such as magnetic parts trays, magnetic base dial indicators, alternator rotors, etc. will damage sensor.
• Never pull WSS cable taut or use to retain wheel, axle or other components.
1. Remove right saddlebag. See 2.31 SADDLEBAGS.
2. Remove right side cover.
3. Release rear WSS connector from anchor on right side battery tray. Disconnect connector.
4. Rear WSS cable and rear brake hose are secured to the rear fork with two cable retainers. The sensor cable is additionally secured to the brake hose with a conduit clip.
Free rear WSS cable from all three.
5. Retract axle until rear WSS is free. See 2.5 REAR WHEEL.
NOTE
The WSS works in conjunction with the ABS encoder bearing installed in the wheel hub. If necessary, see 2.10 SEALED WHEEL BEARINGS for bearing removal and installation instructions.
