Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Front wheel related parts inspection
Refer to “front wheel assembly removal and installation” .
Tire
Refer to “tire inspection” in section 0b .
Front brake disc
Refer to “front brake disc inspection” in section 4b .
Dust seal
Inspect the lip of dust seals for wear or damage. If any defects are found, replace the dust seal with a new one.
Refer to “front wheel dust seal / bearing removal and installation” .
Wheel axle
Using a dial gauge, check the wheel axle for runout. If the runout exceeds the limit, replace the axle shaft.
Special tool (a): 09900–20607 (dial gauge) (b): 09900–20701 (dial gauge chuck) (c): 09900–21304 (v blocks)
Wheel axle runout service limit: 0.25 Mm (0.010 In)
Wheel
- Remove the brake pads. Refer to “front brake pad replacement” in section 4b .
- Make sure that the wheel runout checked as shown in the figure does not exceed the service limit. An excessive runout is usually due to worn or loosened wheel bearings and can be reduced by replacing the bearings. If bearing replacement fails to reduce the runout, replace the wheel.
Wheel rim runout service limit (axial and radial): 2.0 Mm (0.08 In)
- Install the brake pads. Refer to “front brake pad replacement” in section 4b .
Wheel bearing
Inspect the play of the wheel bearings by finger while they are in the wheel. Rotate the inner race by finger to inspect for abnormal noise and smooth rotation. Replace the bearing if there is anything unusual. Refer to “front wheel dust seal / bearing removal and installation” .

Air bleeding from brake fluid circuit
Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to
absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by
the master cylinder and thus interferes with the full
braking performance of the brake caliper. The presence
of air is indicated by “sponginess” of the brake lever and
also by la ...
