Temperature
compensation
The tire pressure is temperature
dependent, i.e. it increases or
decreases together with the tire
air temperature. The tire temper-
ature is dependent on the out-
side temperature, the riding style
and the length of the journey.
The tire pressures
are shown in the TFT
display with temperature
compensation and are always
based on the following tire air
temperature:
68 °F (20 °C)
Tire pressure gages at gas sta-
tions do not make any adjust-
ment for the air temperature,
the tire pressure indicated de-
pends on the temperature of the
air in the tire. As a result, in most
cases the values displayed there
do not match the values shown
in the TFT display.
Tire pressure adjustment
Compare the RDC value in the
TFT display with the value on
the back cover of the Operating
Instructions. The difference be-
tween the two values must be
compensated with the tire infla-
tion pressure tester at the filling
station.
Example
According to the Operating
Instructions, the tire pres-
sure should have the following
value:
36.3 psi (2.5 bar)
The following value is dis-
played in the TFT display:
33.4 psi (2.3 bar)
The shortfall is thus:
Example
2.9 psi (0.2 bar)
The tester at the filling station
shows:
34.8 psi (2.4 bar)
To produce the correct tire
pressure, this must be in-
creased to the following value:
37.7 psi (2.6 bar)
