Secondary retention devices fall into two basic categories:

a) The clip-ontype 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.
