• Force brake calipers 3
slightly apart by rocking
them back and forth A
against the brake discs 4.
Once the calipers have
been removed, there is a
risk of the brake pads being
pressed together to the extent
that they cannot be slipped
back over the brake disc on
reassembly.
Do not operate the handbrake
lever when the brake calipers
have been removed.c
• Mask off the parts of the
wheel rim that could be
scratched in the process of
removing the brake calipers.
• Pull the brake calipers back
and out until clear of the
brake discs.
When the motorcycle is
standing on its centre
stand: if the motorcycle is
raised too far at the front the
centre stand will lift clear of the
ground and the motorcycle
could topple to one side.
When raising the motorcycle,
make sure that the centre
stand remains on the
ground.c
• Raise the front of the motor-
cycle until the front wheel
can rotate freely. It is advisa-
ble to use the BMW
Motorrad front wheel stand
( 111) for this purpose.
