Fitting the front wheel stand
( 109)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 cor-
rectly aligned, do not slacken
or remove the left axle camp-
ing screw.
Remove right-hand axle

ner. The BMW special tool
number is 36 3 691 and the
adapter is available from your
authorised BMW Motorrad

ground between the front
forks.
Roll the front wheel forward
to remove.
Do not damage the ABS
sensor when rolling the
front wheel in or out between

the fasteners checked by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised BMW Mo-
torrad dealer.There is a risk of

course of the procedure
described below.
Take care not to damage the
brake system, in particular the
ABS sensor with cable and
the ABS sensor ring.

installed right way round
to rotate in the correct direc-
tion.

arrows on the tyre or the
wheel rim. Roll the front wheel into
position between the front
forks.
