MAINTENANCE
The sensor rings are essential
for correct road-speed calcula-
tion, and they too must match
the motorcycle's control sys-
tems and consequently cannot
be changed.
If you decide that you would
like to fit non-standard wheels
to your motorcycle, it is very
important to consult a spe-
cialist workshop beforehand,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. In some
cases, the data programmed
into the control units can be
changed to suit the new wheel
sizes.
Removing front wheel
Place the motorcycle
on an auxiliary stand;
BMW Motorrad recommends
the BMW Motorrad rear-
wheel stand.
Install the rear-wheel stand
with centre stand

and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.

wheel speed sensor from
