Before remounting the rear wheel, clean and grease the bearing surface of the bushings [4]
and the shaft seal ring [5].
The rear wheel is remounted in the reverse order. Make sure the chain tensioners [2] are
mounted in the same way on the left and right. The marks on the chain tensioners must be
in the same position on the left and right in relation to the reference marks [A]. Before you
tighten the collar nut to 90 Nm, press the rear wheel towards the front to allow the chain
tensioner to rest against the clamping screws.
– If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tighten-
ing torque corrected by a KTM dealer as soon as possible. A loose wheel spindle can
cause the motorcycle's handling performance to become instable and cause it to crash.
– After mounting the rear wheel, keep operating the footbrake until the pressure point returns.
– It is very important to keep the brake disk free from oil and grease, otherwise the brak-
ing effect would be strongly reduced.
