Installing Front Wheel - BMW K1300R Rider's Manual

Raise front of motorcycle until
the front wheel can turn freely.
BMW Motorrad recommends
the BMW Motorrad front-wheel
stand for lifting the motorcycle.
Installing front-wheel stand
( 112).
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 wheel-speed sensor will not
be correct and this can cause
the ABS to malfunction or allow
the wheel-speed sensor to be
damaged.
In order to ensure that the
threaded bush remains correctly
aligned, do not slacken or
remove the left axle clamp.
Remove right-hand axle clamp-
ing screw 2.
Remove quick-release axle 3,
while supporting the wheel.
Roll the front wheel forward to
remove.

Installing front wheel

Possible malfunctions when

any other wheel but the series
standard wheel is installed.
See the information on the effect

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.
The front wheel must be
installed right way round to
rotate in the correct direction.
Note the direction-of-rotation ar-
rows on the tyre or the wheel
rim.
Roll the front wheel into posi-
tion between the front forks.
