  ○When inserting the cotter pin, if the slots in the nut do
   not align with the cotter pin hole in the axle, tighten the
   nut clockwise [B] up to next alignment.
  ○It should be within 30 degrees.
  ○Loosen once and tighten again when the slot goes past
   the nearest hole.

                          WARNING
  A loose axle nut can lead to an accident resulting in
  serious injury or death. Tighten the axle nut to the
  proper torque and install a new cotter pin.

                          WARNING
  After servicing, it takes several applications of the
  brake pedal before the brake pads contact the disc,
  which could result in increased stopping distance
  and cause an accident resulting in injury or death.
  Do not attempt to ride the motorcycle until a firm
  brake pedal is obtained by pumping the pedal until
  the pads are against the disc.
