Replacement and extra
keysYou can obtain replacement/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated secur-
ity system, so the dealer is un-
der an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys. If you
want to have a lost key barred,
you have to bring with you all
the other keys that belong to
the motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently be
cleared and reactivated for use.ClockSetting clock

stand for lifting the motorcycle.
Install the front-wheel stand
( 122)
Remove right-hand axle clamp-
ing screw5.
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 quick-release axle 6,
while supporting the wheel.

dividual types of sensor ring; it is
very important to ensure that the
correct sensor ring is installed.
Install only the sensor ring that
matches the motorcycle's con-
struction status.
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
