Front-wheel stand

Install 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.
