Re: How to take front wheel off of ninja 500r 2001
There should be 2 main bolts lock tight one side and undo the other, there should be spacers and maybe barings, dont let them fall and dont damage disk brake

lift the front of the bike and see if the wheel turns freely. if there is even the slightest catch in the wheel, it is most likely the wheel bearing going out...which you don't want at speed. it can also be brake pads singing against a smooth rotor. you can try taking rough sandpaper and lay it upright on a smooth surface. while wearing gloves the whole time, take off the front brake pads an rub the surfaces on the sandpaper. reinstall them and see if the noise quits. if so. you need a complete brake service on the front. if not, you should look into the wheel bearing further.
try pushing back the brake pads and dont touch the lever and see if sqeek goes ! if still there put on main stand and hold front wheel off ground and spin and listen where noise is coming from ! there could also be a stone stuck in the brake calipers or even a wheel bearing failing !
The reason it is flooding out is your BOWL FLOAT Needle SEAT is not closing it off. You need to clean your CARB and change out your Needle if it is not working properly.
You will need a maintenance manual for this full proceedure or visit the site www.ex-500.com and read articles on this. It is too complicated to explain without pictures and in this small space. Basically it involves removing the cam chain tensioner, setting the camshafts and crankshaft on the appropriate marks. Reset the cam chain tensioner and reinstall.
you need to raise front wheel from ground with hoist or stand remove brake calliper bolts and then twist callipers on disc to push pads back so that you can remove callipers. loosen pinch bolts on one fork leg then undo axle nut ( large allan bolt) loosen other pinch bolts on other leg and remove axle and spacers/speedo drive and the wheel. take note where spacers go and also make sure to line up speedo drive tangs correctly when refitting wheel in reverse order to taking apart.
Hi you first take the callipers off then loosen the left 2 allenkeys on front of the fork now you loosen axel with a 17mm allenkey on the side now pull out axell and other side
You mean the front wheel? Get the bike supported high enough to get the wheel off, Pull the caliper, hang it up with a wire, pull the nut, pin, and a couple bolts on the fork bottom,? (some bikes) and drive out the axle, the speed control thing will fall right off, attached to the cable. Hope this helps.
usually it is either rings or valve seals. I would guess rings. But you can do a compression test to proof if out. run your first test die and add a teaspoon of oil on the second test. If the compression amounts are the same, then its probably the valve seals. Good luck.
