the ground.

. Push the rear wheel as far to the front as possible, take
the chain off of the rear sprocket and lay it on the rear sprocket guard. Carefully lift the rear
wheel out of the swing arm.
– Do not operate the rear brake when the rear wheel has been dismounted.
– Always place the wheel on the ground with the brake disc pointing upwards. Otherwise
the brake disc may be damaged.

and apply a new coat of grease (Motorex Long Term 2000) to prevent the thread from
jamming.
