Strangely, on this model of motorcycle, it is not necessary to remove the brake caliper to replace the front wheel, which makes the operation easier. Lift and position the motorcycle on a stand. Place a sticker on the right and left spacers to distinguish them (they are not the same). Using a socket, undo the central bolt and remove the associated washers (keep everything in order for reassembly), then move to the other side and undo the two nuts indicated in the video. Lift the wheel with a jack and remove the axle, then remove the jack and proceed with the wheel removal.
