Install the small "front" accordion retainer onto boot
Install the small "front" accordion retainer onto boot
Install the completed accordion assembly onto the driveshaft tunnel.
You may need to support the coupler so you can cleanly clip the accordion onto the driveshaft tunnel.
At this point we are ready to reconnect the rear drive to the driveshaft coupler.
Bring up the rear drive and try to line up the drive splines to the shaft coupler, as shown below.
Note the angle of approach.
Once there, push up
If it is not going in completely, move the disc slightly back and forth, until the alignment comes in and push up completely to mate the two parts.

POP - you're in.
Throw the driveshaft strut bolt in place to free up your hands.
Clean area up of any lube, change your gloves if you wore them and let's get ready to re-assemble.

Five main steps in the reassembly
1 - replace driveshaft strut nut and torque to spec
2 - reinstall the speed sensor wire harness and speed sensor
3 - install the caliper
4 - install the rear wheel
5 - install the muffler

Insert the speed sensor into its hole.
Double check the o-ring for any damage
Slighly lubricate the o-ring to ease insertion
Put the speed sensor straight onto the rear housing and press evenly and smoothly and GENTLY.

Tighten the bolt using a T-25 - spec is 4Nm (2.95 ft/lbs) - I do it hand tight

With the speed sensor correctly located run the speed sensor wire harness onto its mounting and attach points.
With the sensor in place, the proper routing and slack will fall into place. You will be able to tell that the routing is being done correctly as you install.
Working from the speed sensor to the front of the bike, insert the speed sensor harness into the reataining clip at the 7 o'clock position.
Ensure it is fully inserted as shown before proceeding.

Repeat again for the retaining clip at the 5 o'clock position

Secure wire harness ring to the 3 o'clock position on the drive.
The spec for the screw (T-25) is 4 Nm (2.95 ft/lbs) and I do it hand tight

The final routing for the speed sensor harness is on the bottom of the driveshaft tunnel as shown.
At this point the remaining assembly items are listed below for re-installation:
- caliper
- the final routing of the speed sensor wire on the rear brake line
- mounting the rear wheel
- installing the muffler
These steps can be picked up in this link
