BMW R 1200RT 2016, Rider'S Manual

Page: 116 / 229

The tire pressures are
shown adjusted for tem-
perature on the multifunction
display and are always relative
to the following tire air temper-
ature:
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 multifunction display.
Adjusting inflation
pressure
Compare the RDC value in the
multifunction display with the
value on the back cover of the
Rider's Manual. The difference
between the two values must be
compensated with the air pres-
sure tester at the filling station.
Example
According to the Rider's Man-
ual, the tire pressure should
be as follows:
36.3 psi (2.5 bar)
The multifunction display
shows the following figure:
33.4 psi (2.3 bar)
The shortfall is thus:
2.9 psi (0.2 bar)
The tester at the filling station
shows:
34.8 psi (2.4 bar)
To obtain the correct tire pres-
sure, that has to be increased
to the following figure:
37.7 psi (2.6 bar)
Shift assistant
with Pro shift assistant OE
Pro shift assistant
Your vehicle is equipped with a
shift assistant originally devel-
oped for racing but now specially
adapted for touring use. It allows
you upshift and downshift under
almost any load conditions and in
virtually all engine-speed ranges
without operating the clutch or
accelerator.
Benefits
70-80 % of all gear changes
can be performed without us-
ing the clutch.
Less movement between pilot
and pillion due to shorter gear-
change intervals.
Throttle does not have to be
closed when changing gear
under acceleration.
