Front wheel bearing check
Preliminary operations (only for F4 RR):
- Fit the axle on the front wheel.
- Turn in and bring the threaded bushing (Code no.
80A0A3469) into contact with the wheel spindle, tigh-
tening it by hand.
With the wheel spindle still mounted to the wheel,
rotate the wheel to check that the bearings are not pit-
ted and rotate with a smooth action. Check also for
axial (A) and/or radial (B) movement. If either condition
is verified, substitute the bearings.

Before substituting the bearings as indicated
above it is advisable to remove the brake
discs as indicated in chapter H “Brakes” to
avoid damaging them.
