Dismounting and mounting the front wheel
To remove the front wheel, jack the motorcycle up on its frame so that the
front wheel no longer touches the ground.
To remove the front brake caliper, remove both screws [1] and pull the caliper
backwards from the brake disc.
Loosen both clamp screws [2] on the left fork leg.
Then loosen the collar screw [3] before loosening the clamp screws [4] on the
right fork leg.
Hold the front wheel and withdraw the wheel spindle [5].
NOTE: The wheel spindle can be easily removed if you slightly revolve it with
a ring spanner (SW 27 mm).
Carefully remove the front wheel from the fork.
– DO NOT OPERATE THE HAND BRAKE WHEN THE FRONT WHEEL HAS BEEN
– ALWAYS PLACE THE WHEEL ON THE GROUND WITH THE BRAKE DISC POINT-
To install the front wheel, lift it into the fork, position and mount the axle
shaft. Mount the collar screw [3], tighten the clamping screws [4] on the right
fork leg axle passage to prevent the axle shaft from turning and tighten the
collar screw to 60 Nm.
After mounting the front wheel, slide the brake caliper to the brake disc. Remove
the grease from the threads of both screws [1] and apply Loctite 243. Tighten
the screws with 45 Nm.
Loosen the clamp screws on the right fork leg. Take the motorcycle down from
its stand. Press the front wheel brakes and push down on the fork a few times
vigorously so that the fork legs come into alignment.
Only after this has been accomplished, tighten the clamp screws on both fork
legs with 15 Nm.
