Operation Manual

The left axle clamping
screw locates the threaded
bush in the front suspension.
If the threaded bush is not
correctly aligned the gap
between the ABS sensor ring
and the ABS sensor will not be
correct and this can cause the
ABS to malfunction or allow the
ABS sensor to be damaged.
In order to ensure that the
threaded bush remains correctly
aligned, do not slacken or
remove the left axle camping
screw.
Remove right-hand axle clamp-
ing screw 2.
Remove quick-release axle 3,
while supporting the wheel.
Roll the front wheel forward to
remove.
Installing front wheel
Possible malfunctions when
ABS and DTC systems in-
tervene if non-standard wheels
are installed.
See the information on the effect
of wheel size on the ABS and
DTC systems at the start of this
chapter.
Threaded fasteners not
tightened to the specified
torque can work loose or their
threads can suffer damage.
Always have the security of the
fasteners checked by a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
The front wheel must be
installed right way round to
rotate in the correct direction.
Note the direction-of-rotation ar-
rows on the tyre or the wheel
rim.
Roll the front wheel into posi-
tion between the front forks.
Raise the front wheel, insert
quick-release axle 3 and
tighten to specified torque.
