REMOVING THE FRONT WHEEL

the front wheel is lifted from the ground.
- Unscrew the screw (1) without removing it.
- Loosen the bolts (2) holding the wheel axle (3) to
the front fork mounts.

then unscrew the screw (1) completely and re-
move the pin (3).

Note*: Do not operate the front 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 on top.

REASSEMBLING THE FRONT WHEEL
Fit the L.H. spacer (D) on the wheel hub.
Fit the wheel between the fork legs so as to set the
brake disc into the calliper.
Fit the wheel axle (1) from the R.H. side, after greas-
ing it and push it fully home against the L.H. fork leg;
during this operation, the wheel should be turned.
Tighten the screw (2) on the fork L.H. side but DO
NOT lock it.
Now, pump for a while, pushing the handlebar
1
downwards until you are sure that the fork legs are
perfectly aligned. Lock: the screws (3) on the R.H. leg
(20 Nm/ 2,04 Kgm/ 14,75 ft-lb), the screw (2) on the
L.H. side (120 Nm/ 12,3 Kgm/ 88,51 ft-lb), the screws
(4) on the L.H. leg (20 Nm/ 2,04 Kgm/ 14,75 ft-lb).
Note*: After reassembling the wheel, work on the
front brake control lever until you bring the brake
pads in contact with the disc.
