Dismounting and mounting the front wheel
Jack the motorcycle up at the underride protection until the front wheel no longer touches
the ground.
Loosen the collar screw [1] and the clamp screws [2] at both fork leg axle passages. Unscrew
the collar screw approx. 8 turns, pressing your hand against the collar screw to push the
axle passage out of the fork leg and remove the collar screw. Hold the front wheel and pull
out the axle passage. Slightly pull one brake caliper out and take the front wheel off the
fork.
Take the left [3] and right distance bushing out of the shaft seal rings.

Before remounting the front wheel, clean and grease the shaft seal rings [4] and the bear-
ing surface [A] of the distance bushings and mount the distance bushings (wide distance
bushing in the left shaft seal ring). Slightly push back the brake pads with a screwdriver.
Set up the front wheel facing in the running direction (see arrow [B] on the tire).
– Do not operate the hand brake when the front wheel has been dismounted.
– When you lay the wheel down, make sure the brake disks and (for models with ABS) the
ABS sensor wheel are not damaged.
– Models with ABS: when you dismount and mount the front wheel, make sure that you
do not damage the ABS sensor [5] and do not bend the ABS sensor wheel.
