MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE »
47
Before remounting the rear wheel, clean and grease the bearing surface of the bushings [4]
and the shaft seal ring [5].
The rear wheel is remounted in reverse order. Pay attention to the same mounting position
of the axle passage and the chain tensioner.
Before tightening the collar nut to 90 Nm, push the rear wheel forwards so that the chain
tensioners lie on the tension screws.
– If you don’t happen to have a torque wrench at hand, make sure you have the tighten-
ing torque corrected by a KTM dealer as soon as possible. A loose wheel spindle can
cause the motorcycle's handling performance to become instable and cause it to crash.
– After mounting the rear wheel, keep operating the footbrake until the pressure point returns.
– It is very important to keep the brake disk free from oil and grease, otherwise the brak-
ing effect would be strongly reduced.
