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.
Seat the rear wheel on the
rear-wheel adapter.
The wheel studs for the
cross-spoked wheel (op-
tional extra) and the cast alumini-
um wheel differ in length. Mix-
ing up sets of studs or using the
wrong studs would mean that the
rear wheel would not be correctly
secured and this, in turn, could
result in an accident.
Use only wheel studs with the
same, approved length code. Do
not oil or grease wheel studs.
Install screws 1 and tighten to
the specified tightening torque.

and the silencer must be at least
