174 MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Automatic opening of verti-
cally installed valve inserts
at high speeds
Sudden loss of tire inflation
pressure
Use valve caps with rubber
sealing ring and screw on
firmly.
Park the motorcycle, making
sure that the ground is firm
and level.
Check tire pressure against
data below.
Front tire pressure
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Sporting
use)
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (One-up,
with cold tires)
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Two-up
mode with load, with cold
tires)
Rear tire pressure
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (One-up,
with cold tires)
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (Two-up

If tire pressure is too low:
Correct the tire pressure.
Tire pressures can be de-
termined with tire pres-
sure control (RDC). These val-
ues are always displayed with
compensation for tempera-
ture and always refer to a tire
air temperature of 20 °C. Tire
pressure gauges at gas stations
do not compensate for tem-
perature. Therefore, the values
measured there usually do not
match the values shown in the
TFT display.
WHEEL RIMS AND TIRES
Checking rims
Park motorcycle, ensuring that
support surface is firm and
level.
Subject wheel rims to visual
inspection for defects.
Have damaged rims checked
and, if necessary, replaced
by a specialist service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
