Installing front-wheel

• Place the motorcycle on the

centre stand

or a suitable

auxiliary stand such as the

BMW Motorrad rear-wheel

stand

(b 108).

• Slacken adjusting screws 1.

• Push pins 2 apart until the

front forks fit between them.

• Use locating pins 3 to set the

front-wheel stand to the

desired height.

• Centre the front-wheel stand

relative to the front wheel

and push it against the front

axle.

• Push both pins 2 in through

the triangles of the brake cal-

iper supports until there is

just enough room for the

front wheel to be rolled

between them.

Take care not to damage

the ABS sensor ring if the

motorcycle is fitted with BMW

Integral ABS.

Do not push the pin in too far;

make sure that it does not

touch the sensor ring of the

BMW Integral ABS.c

• Tighten adjusting screws 1.
