BMW R 1200 RT - 2006, Rider'S Manual

Page: 108 / 194

The tyre-pressure read-
ings in the multifunction
display are temperature-com-
pensated and are always refer-
enced to the following tyre-air
temperature:
20 °C
The air lines available to the pub-
lic in petrol stations and motor-
way service areas have gauges
that do not compensate for tem-
perature; the reading shown by
a gauge of this nature is the
temperature-dependent tyre-
air pressure. In most instances,
therefore, these gauge readings
will not tally with the pressures
shown by the multifunction dis-
play.
Pressure adaptation
Compare the RDC value on the
multifunction display with the
value in the table on the inside
cover of the Rider's Manual.
Then use the air line at a service
station to compensate for the
difference between the RDC
reading and the value in the
table.
Example
According to the Rider's
Manual, the tyre pressure
should be:
2.5 bar
The multifunction display
shows the following reading:
2.3 bar
So pressure is low by:
0.2 bar
The gauge on the air line
shows:
2.4 bar
You must now increase tyre
pressure until the value is:
Example
2.6 bar

Possible settings
Dynamic ESA enables you to
adjust your motorcycle's suspen-
sion to suit the load and the road
conditions.
Via ride height sensors, Dynamic
ESA detects the movements in
the chassis and suspension and
responds to the same by ad-
justing the damper valves. The
chassis and suspension will thus
be adapted to the characteristics
of the terrain.
You can set the damping to a
harder (HARD) or softer (SOFT)
setting than the basic setting
(NORMAL).
