Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:

a) The clip-on type is an accessory part which the
manufacturer adds to the front wheel hub or front fork.

b) The integral type is molded, cast or machined
into the outer faces of the front fork dropouts.

Ask your dealer to explain the particular secondary retention device on

your

bike.

WARNING: Removing or disabling the secondary retention device is

extremely dangerous and may lead to serious injury or death. It

also may void the warranty.
