authorized BMW Motorrad re-

Tires
Measuring tire tread
depth
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicating marks.
Tires have wear indicators
integrated into the main
tread grooves. If the tire tread
has worn down to the level of
the marks, the tire is completely
worn. The locations of the marks
are indicated on the edge of the
tire, e.g. by the letters TI, TWI or
by an arrow.
If the tire tread depth no longer
complies with the legally required
minimum tread depth:
Replace tire.
Rims
Visual inspection
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park the motorcycle.
Visually inspect rims for de-
fects.
Have damaged rims checked
and, if necessary, replaced by
a specialized workshop, prefer-
ably an authorized BMW Mo-
torrad retailer.
Wheels
Recommended tires
For every size of tire, BMW Mo-
torrad has tested and approved
certain makes as roadworthy.
BMW Motorrad cannot evaluate
the suitability of other tires, and
can therefore take no responsibil-
ity for their driving safety.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only using the tires tested and
approved by BMW Motorrad.
Extensive information is available
at your authorized BMW Motor-
rad retailer or on the Internet at
