Hold left slider tube 5 and
turn the front wheel left and
right to push the brake pads
apart.
Once the calipers have
been removed, there is
a risk of the brake pads be-
ing pressed together to the
extent that they cannot be
slipped back over the brake
disc on reassembly.
Do not operate the handbrake
lever when the brake calipers
have been removed.
Roll the front wheel clear of
the forks.
Remove spacer sleeve 6 .
Installing front wheel
Threaded fasteners not
tightened to the spe-
cified torque can work loose
or their threads can suffer
damage.
Always have the security of
the fasteners checked by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised BMW Mo-
torrad dealer.
The front wheel must be
installed right way round
to rotate in the correct direc-
tion.
Note the direction-of-rotation
arrows on the tyre or the
wheel rim.
The brake caliper does
not have to be removed
for the work described in this
manual. If the brake caliper
has to be removed for some
other reason, be sure to use
the bottom holes in the fork
tube when reinstalling the cal-
iper if massive-bar tyres are
fitted. Proceed in accordance
with the Installation Instruc-
tions if the motorcycle is fitted
with road wheels.
