Raise the front of the mo-
torcycle until the front wheel
can rotate freely. It is advis-
able to use the BMW Motor-
rad front wheel stand to lift
the motorcycle.
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
clamping screw 6.
Remove quick-release
axle 7, holding the wheel as
you do so.
BMW Motorrad provides
an adapter for removing
the quick-release axle. This
adapter can be combined
with a commercially available
w/f 22 open-end or ring span-
ner. The BMW special tool
number is 36 3 691 and the
adapter is available from your
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer. Lower the front wheel to the
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 forks.
