Install the front-wheel

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.
Use basic stand with front-
wheel adapter. The basic
stand and its accessory
parts are available from your
BMW Motorrad dealer.
