Front-Wheel Stand - BMW R1200RT Rider's Manual

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
spoked wheel and the cast
wheel are of different lengths.
Mixing up sets of studs or using
the wrong studs would mean that
the rear wheel would not be cor-
rectly secured and this, in turn,
could result in an accident.
Use only wheel studs with the
same, approved length code. Do
not lubricate the wheel studs.
Install wheel studs 1 and
tighten to specified torque.

Front-wheel stand

Installing the front-wheel
stand
The BMW Motorrad front
wheel stand is not designed
to support motorcycles not fitted
with a centre stand or without
other auxiliary stands. A motor-
cycle resting only on the front
wheel stand and the rear wheel
can topple.
Place the motorcycle on its
centre stand or another auxiliary
stand before lifting the front
wheel with the BMW Motorrad

front-wheel stand.

Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.
Use basic stand with front-
wheel adapter. The basic
stand and its accessory
parts are available from your
BMW Motorrad dealer.
