minimum tread depth is
reached.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicating marks.
NOTICE
Tread wear marks are integrated
into the main grooves on every
tire. If the tire tread has worn
down to the level of the marks,
the tire is completely worn. The
locations of the marks are indi-
cated on the edge of the tire, e.g.
by the letters TI, TWI or by an
arrow.
When the minimum tread depth
is reached:
Replace tires concerned.
Wheels
Tire recommendation
For every size of tire,
BMW Motorrad has tested and
approved certain makes as
roadworthy. BMW Motorrad
cannot evaluate the suitability of
other tires, and can therefore
take no responsibility 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 Motorrad retailer or on
the Internet at
"www.bmw-

Affect of wheel size on
ABS
Wheel sizes greatly affect the
function of the ABS system. Es-
pecially the diameter and width
of the wheels are stored in the
control unit as the basis for all
necessary calculations. A change
in these sizes due to conversion
to wheels not installed as stan-
dard equipment can seriously af-
fect the control comfort of these
systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the control systems in-
stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your
motorcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist
service facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the
control units can be adapted to
the new wheel sizes.
Remove front wheel
NOTICE
To simplify wheel removal/instal-
lation, the front wheel cover must
be released on one side.
