Installing Front Wheel - BMW R nineT Rider's Manual

Lift the front of the motorcycle
until the front wheel is clear of
the ground, preferably using
a BMW Motorrad front-wheel
stand.
Install the front-wheel stand
( 69).
The left axle clamp locates
the threaded bush in the
front suspension. If the threaded
bush is not correctly aligned the
gap between the sensor ring and
the sensor will not be correct
and this can cause the ABS to
malfunction or allow the sensor
to be damaged.
In order to ensure that the
threaded bush remains correctly
aligned, do not slacken or
remove the left axle clamp.
Slacken axle clamping
screws 1.
Remove quick-release axle 2,
while supporting the wheel.
Do not wipe the grease off the
axle.
Roll the front wheel forward to
remove.
Remove spacing bushing 1
from the left-hand side of the
front-wheel hub.

Installing front wheel

Malfunctions are possible
when the ABS system in-
tervenes if non-standard wheels
are installed.
See the information on the effect
of wheel size on the ABS system
at the start of this chapter.
Threaded fasteners not
tightened to the specified
torque can work loose or their
threads can suffer damage.
Always have the security of the
fasteners checked by a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
