workshop, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
TIRES
Checking tire pressure
WARNING
Incorrect tire inflation pressure
Poorer handling characteristic of motorcy-
cle, reduction of tire service life
Ensure proper tire inflation pressure.
WARNING
Valve inserts open of their own accord
at high speeds
Sudden loss of tire inflation pressure
Use valve caps with rubber sealing ring
and screw on firmly.
Park motorcycle. Ensure that the ground is
firm and level.
Check tire pressure against data below.
Front tire pressure
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (One-up, with cold
tires)
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Two-up mode with
load, with cold tires)
Rear tire pressure
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (One-up, with cold
tires)

Checking tire tread depth
WARNING
Riding with heavily worn tyres
Risk of accident due to poorer rideability
If necessary, replace the tyres before the
legally specified minimum tread depth is
reached.
Park motorcycle. Ensure that the ground is
firm and level.
Measure tire tread depth in main tread
grooves with wear marks.
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 loca-
tions 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 tire.
RIMS
Checking wheel rims
Park motorcycle. Ensure that the ground is
firm and level.
Visually inspect rims for defects.
Have damaged rims checked and, if nec-
essary, renewed by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
Checking spokes
Park motorcycle. Ensure that the ground is
firm and level.
Run the handle of a screwdriver or similar
object 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.
