Checking tyre tread depth
WARNING
Riding with badly worn tyres
Risk of accident due to impaired
handling
If applicable, have the tyres
changed in good time before
they wear to the minimum
tread depth permitted by law.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the Scooter
on its stand.
Measure the tyre tread depth
in the main tread grooves with
wear marks.
NOTICE
Wear indicators are built into the
main profile grooves on each
tyre. The tyre is worn out when
the tyre tread has worn down
to the level of the marks. The
locations of the marks are indic-
ated on the edge of the tyre, e.g.
by the letters TI, TWI or by an
arrow.
If the tyre tread is worn to min-
imum:
Replace tyre or tyres, as applic-
able.

Tyre recommendation
For each size of tyre,
BMW Motorrad tests and
classifies as roadworthy certain
makes. BMW Motorrad cannot
assess the suitability or provide
any guarantee of road safety for
other tyres.
BMW Motorrad recommends
using only tyres tested by
BMW Motorrad.

Effect of the wheel sizes
on the ABS
The wheel sizes play an essen-
tial role with the ABS system. In
particular, the diameter and the
width of the vehicle's wheels are
programmed into the control unit
and are fundamental to all cal-
culations. Any change in these
influencing variables, caused for
example by a switch to wheels
other than those installed ex-
works, can have serious effects
on the performance of the con-
trol system.
The sensor rings are essential
for correct wheel speed detec-
tion; they too must match the
Scooter's control system and
consequently cannot be replaced.
