Check tire tread depth
WARNING
Riding with heavily worn
tyres
Risk of accident due to
poorer rideability
If necessary, replace the
tyres before the legally spec-
ified minimum tread depth
is reached.
Park motorcycle, ensuring that
support surface is firm and
level.
Check tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicators.
Tread wear marks are in-
tegrated 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 indicated 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 the worn tires.
Checking spokes
with cross spoke wheels OE
Park motorcycle, ensuring that
support surface is firm and
level.
Using the handle of a screw-
driver or similar object, run it
over the spokes and listen to
the sound pattern.
If the sound pattern is uneven:
Have spokes checked by
a specialist workshop,
preferably by an authorized
BMW Motorrad Retailer.
WHEELS
Effect of wheel sizes on
suspension control systems
The wheel sizes play an impor-
tant role in the suspension con-
trol system ABS. The diameter
and width of the wheels stored
in the control unit have partic-
ular significance as the basis
for all necessary calculations. A
change in these sizes resulting
from conversion to wheels not
installed as standard equipment
can seriously affect the control
efficiency of these systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must
also match the installed con-
trol systems and may not be
replaced.
