REMOVING THE FRONT WHEEL
Position the motorcycle in such a way that the
front wheel is lifted from the ground.
Unscrew the two screws (1) and remove the brake
calliper (2).
Loosen the bolts (3) holding the wheel shaft (4) to
the fork leg supports. Hold the head of the wheel
shaft in place, and unscrew the bolt (5) on the op-
posite side; draw the wheel shaft out.
Note*: Do not operate the brake lever when the
wheel has been removed; this causes the calliper
pistons to move outwards. After removal, lay
down the wheel with brake disc facing up.
REFITTING THE FRONT WHEEL
Fit the LH spacer (D) on the wheel hub.
Fit the wheel between the fork legs.
Fit the previously greased wheel shaft (5) from the
right-hand side until it is fully home on the wheel
bearing; it is advisable to turn the wheel while car-
rying out this operation. Tighten the screw (3) on
the fork LH side but DO NOT lock it.
Now, pump for a while, pushing the handlebar
downwards until you are sure that the fork legs
are perfectly aligned. Lock: the screws (4) on the
RH leg (10.4 Nm), the screw (3) on the LH side (50
Nm), and the screws (4) on the LH leg (10.4 Nm).
