Dismounting and remounting the front wheel
Special stands are required to dismount the wheels to make sure the motorcycle is securely
fixed. The front stand only adequately fixes the motorcycle together with the rear stand. The
stands shown in the illustration can be found in the KTM Power Parts catalog.
First mount the rear, then the front stand. Make sure the stands rest on solid ground and
are correctly mounted. The front wheel should not touch the ground.
