Wheels Removal - bimota DB5 Mille Owner's Manual

WHEELS REMOVAL

This motorcycle is equipped only with the side
stand. If you need to remove front or rear wheel
you must have a proper stand; if you have not,
contact your Bimota dealer.
Front wheel removal
1. Lift up the motorcycle by a proper stand.
2. Remove both front calipers (1) from the front
forks by removing two mounting bolts (2) on
each caliper. To avoid damages for the brake pipes
do not let the calipers hanging up. Never squeeze
the front brake lever with the caliper removed. It
is very difficult to force the pads back into the
caliper assembly and brake fluid leakage may
result; if this would occur, contact your Bimota
dealer.
3. Loosen the two axle bolts (3) on the left fork.
4. Loosen the bolt (4) of the front axle.
5. Loosen the two axle bolts (5) on the right fork.
6. Draw the axle (6) out and take the left spacer
(7).
