Have you tried jacking up the bike so the suspension extends?

I usually remove the lower bolt from the shock and jack up the bike until it clears.
still tight. retorque them to the correct spec. |
Dead right, you have to unload the front suspension. There's a lug boss on the bottom of the front of the engine I believe the BMW factory uses to assemble their bikes. I find if I zip a 7/16" drill through it, my 7/16" bolt on my homemade scissor jack does a fine job of lifting the front if you have enough weight on the rear.
I think it is an 18mm, or something like that, and it is a stud that runs side to side with nuts on each end. It's a tight (not interference but good for a shear fit) with parts of the stud shaft larger to fit tight. I had to tap my out but make sure you unload the subframe. The second one back for the other 2 mounting points is the pain the ass one to get back in, this one is easy. Good luck. |
