Front-wheel stand

Use
A front-wheel stand for simple,
safe changing of the front wheel
is available from BMW Motorrad.
You can obtain the front-wheel
stand from your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
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.
