Dismounting and remounting the front wheel

Special stands are required to dismount the wheels to make sure the motorcycle is securely
fixed. The front stand only adequately fixes the motorcycle together with the rear stand. The
stands shown in the illustration can be found in the KTM Power Parts catalog.
First mount the rear, then the front stand. Make sure the stands rest on solid ground and
are correctly mounted. The front wheel should not touch the ground.
NOTE FOR SUPER DUKE R:
First remove the crash pads.
Remove the screws [1] on the left and right brake caliper and carefully pull the brake calipers
and bushings [6] off the brake disks towards the back.
1
Loosen the collar screw [2] and the clamping screws [3] on both fork leg axle passages.
Unscrew the collar screw approx 8 turns, press on the collar screw with your hand to push
the wheel spindle out of the fork leg axle passage and remove the collar screw. Hold the
front wheel while you pull out the wheel spindle.
Lift the front wheel off the fork.
