the BMW Motorrad front
wheel stand ( 107) until
b
the front wheel can rotate
freely.
• Slacken right axle clamping
screw 5.
• Remove quick-release
axle 6, while supporting the
wheel.
The left axle clamping
screw locates the thread-
ed bush in the front suspen-
sion. If the threaded bush is
not correctly aligned the gap
between the ABS sensor ring
and the ABS sensor will not be
correct and this can cause the
ABS to malfunction or allow
the ABS sensor to be
damaged.
In order to ensure that the
threaded bush remains cor-
rectly aligned, do not slacken
or remove the left axle camp-
ing screw.c
