Hello everyone,

I've finally got round to ordering a new brake disc and fork seals for the 1150RT.

My manual is the 1100 version.

Can anyone tell me if the process of removing & refitting these parts on the 1150RT is different to that of the 1100?

Cheers,
DA
 
Quite Similar, but Not exactly

Keep an eye open for a "Shim" on the rear wheel between the Hub and the wheel if you have ABS Don;t lose it :rob

The fork seals are pretty much the same I remove the tank to get better access when I am doing them and do one at a time with the wheel clamped in my ramps wheel clamp

8mm for Allens on bar mounts
14mm nut under handlebar clamp and a 21mm Hex spanner for below the yoke
and a 3mm allen key on top of the stanchion

Something to pop out the dust cover and a pick for the circlip and a big flat screw driver for the seal

I do not know what your manual says but it is easy to do them in place

Support the front of the engine If you have a wheel clamp tighten it on the wheel and Remove handlebar mount

Remove nut from top of stanchion N.B. NOTE CABLE ROUTING

Lower the stanchion about 2 inches and remove the small allen bolt AND the little rubber o ring that goes with it

you should then be able to slide the stanchion right out and give yourself access to the Dust cover and seal

A blunt wood chisel is a good thing to pop the dust seal upwards and off Then pick out the circlip, then the seal and finally the steel shim below the seal (usually just to clean it)

When reassembling its the same on teh way back together and refit that little allen screw to the top of the stanchion with its O ring at about 2 inches from the top yoke and pull it up into place and get the nut on it

BUT before you tighten it all the way Verify your cable routings

Basic but it works

Have Fun
 
Right, that's the seal done.
The only thing is that now it looks like the mudguard/wheel alignment is off.

Have I missed something or do I need to adjust something to make the forks the same length?
