From the manual; my comments in ( ).
?
Loosen left axle clamp bolt. (Pinch bolt).
Loosen axle. (unscrew).
Raise front wheel off the ground (special jack they say, but you can improvise).
Pull out axle and remove front wheel.
?
In other words, just unthread the axle and pull it out, after loosening the pinch bolt.

Subject: [W650riders] How to remove the front wheel.

Firstly, thanks to everyone who replied with help on my shimmy problem.
hopefully when I get a new front tyre to match the new rear, it will go
away. However, until then, I have just tried to get the front wheel out
but it looks like 2 rather large hex wrenches are required. Is one side
a 'bolt' and the other a 'nut', or are both fixings 'nuts' I also
presume the 2 forward face hex socket screws come out as well. sadly,
there are no wrenches in the tool kit.

So what is the correct procedure for front wheel removal?

Thanks,

pete
