RDC adhesive label
with tyre pressure monitoring
(RDC)
OE
Incorrect tyre fitting can
damage the RDC sensors.
Be sure to explain to the au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer
or the specialist workshop that
the wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor.
If the motorcycle is equipped
with RDC, each wheel rim bears
an adhesive label indicating the
position of the RDC sensor.
When a tyre is being changed,
special care must be taken not
to damage the RDC sensor. Be
sure to draw the attention of the
authorised BMW Motorrad dealer
or specialist workshop to the fact
that the wheel is fitted with an
RDC sensor.
Removing front wheel
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.
Disengage the ABS sensor
cable from retaining clips
1
and
2
.
Remove screw
3
and remove
the ABS sensor from its bore.
Mask off the parts of the wheel
rim that could be scratched in
the process of removing the
brake callipers.
Once the calipers have
been removed, there is
a risk of the brake pads being
pressed together to the extent
that they cannot be slipped back
over the brake disc on reas-
sembly.
