Dismounting and mounting the front wheel *
To remove the front wheel, jack the motorcycle up by the frame so that the
front wheel no longer touches the ground.
Take out both AH screws
[1]
and remove brake caliper from brake disc.
WHEN REMOVING THE BRAKE CALIPER, MAKE SURE THAT THE BRAKE LINE, THE
BRAKE DISC AND THE BRAKE LININGS ARE NOT DAMAGED.
Screw speedometer cable
[2]
from speedometer drive.
Loosen the clamp screws
[3]
on the right fork leg axle passage (leave the clamp
screws on the left fork fist tightened).
Loosen wheel spindle
[4]
.
Hold the front wheel, pull the wheel spindle out, remove the front wheel from
the fork by pulling it forward.
– DO NOT OPERATE THE HAND BRAKE WHEN THE FRONT WHEEL HAS BEEN
REMOVED.
– ALWAYS PUT DOWN THE WHEEL WITH THE BRAKE DISC ON TOP TO PREVENT
DAMAGING OF THE BRAKE DISC.
Prior to mounting the front wheel, clean and grease the shaft seal ring
[5]
and running surface
[6]
at the speedometer drive.
To mount the front wheel insert speedometer drive into the front wheel.
Lift the front wheel into the fork and position the speedometer drive as shown
in the illustration (the connection for the speedometer cable must be below
the nose
[7]
.
Replace the wheel spindle and tighten it with 40 Nm (30 ft.lb).
Mount the brake caliper, apply Loctite 243 to the thread of the allan head
screws and tighten it 45 Nm (33 ft.lb).
Attach speedometer drive cable. Jack the motorcycle back down, work the
front brake and bounce the fork hard a few times to align the fork tubes.
Now you can tighten the clamp screws on the right fork leg axle passage to
15 Nm (11 ft.lb).
– THE AH SCREWS
[1]
OF THE BRAKE CALIPER MUST BE SECURED WITH LOCTITE
243 TO PREVENT LOOSENING.
– IF YOU DON’T HAPPEN TO HAVE A TORQUE WRENCH AT HAND, MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THE TIGHTENING TORQUE CORRECTED BY A KTM DEALER AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE.
– IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE BRAKE DISK FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE, OTHERWISE THE BRAKING EFFECTS WOULD BE STRONGLY REDUCED.
– AFTER MOUNTING THE FRONT WHEEL, KEEP OPERATING THE HAND BRAKE
UNTIL THE PRESSURE POINT RETURNS.
Dismounting and mounting the rear wheel*
Jack up the motorcycle under the frame to lift the rear wheel of the ground.
Remove the hexagon nut
[8]
on the left swing arm fist.
Loosen the AH screw
[9]
and the wheel spindle
[10]
and pull the eccentric
[11]
out on the left side. Remove the brake caliper from the brake disk.
Hold the rear wheel and remove the wheel spindle. Move the rear wheel down
and forward and take the chain off of the rear sprocket.
– DO NOT OPERATE THE FOOT BRAKE WHEN THE REAR WHEEL HAS BEEN DIS-
MOUNTED.
– ALWAYS PUT DOWN THE WHEEL WITH THE BRAKE DISC ON TOP TO PREVENT
DAMAGING OF THE BRAKE DISC.
NOTE: When removing the rear wheel always check the damping rubbers.
Clean and lubricate the wheel spindle thread. Lift the rear wheel together with
the rear sprocket carrier into the swinging fork and place the chain on the
rear sprocket. Insert the wheel spindle to hold the rear wheel and position the
brake caliper. Align the eccentric and tighten the wheel spindle to 80 Nm
(59 ft.lb). Tighten the hexagon nut to 40 Nm (30 ft.lb) and the AH screw on
the brake caliper to 40 Nm (30 ft.lb).
– IF YOU DON’T HAPPEN TO HAVE A TORQUE WRENCH AT HAND, MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THE TIGHTENING TORQUE CORRECTED BY A KTM DEALER AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE BRAKE DISK FREE FROM OIL AND
