RIDING
After riding off-road
BMW Motorrad recommends
the following after riding off-
road:
Tire pressure
WARNING
When driving off-road, lower
tire pressure than riding on
paved roads
Risk of accident due to
poorer handling characteris-
tics.
Ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.
Brakes
WARNING
Riding on unpaved or dirty
roads
Delayed braking effect due to
dirty brake discs and brake
pads
Brake early until the brakes
are clean again.
ATTENTION
Riding on unpaved or dirty
roads
Increased brake pad wear
Check the brake pad thick-
ness more often and replace
the brake pads sooner.
Spring preload and damping
WARNING
Modified values for spring
preload and spring strut
damping when riding off-
road
Poorer handling characteris-
tics on paved roads
Set correct spring preload
and correct spring strut
damping before leaving off-
road terrain.
Rims
BMW Motorrad recommends
checking the rims for possible
damage after riding off-road.
