Bear in mind that the rear wheel
will spin on the loose surface and
close the throttle in good time
before you reach a firm surface.
Then switch on the ASC again.
Tire Pressure Control
TPC/RDC
with Tire Pressure Control
(TPC/RDC)
OE
Operation
A sensor located in each tire
monitors the pressure and air
temperature of the tire and trans-
mits this information to the con-
trol unit.
The sensors are equipped with
a centrifugal controller that sup-
presses transmission of the mea-
sured values until a speed of ap-
proximately 18 mph (30 km/h)
is reached. Before initial recep-
tion of the tire pressure, "
­­
"
is shown in the multifunction
display for each tire. The sen-
sors continue to transmit the
monitored data for approximately
15 minutes after the motorcycle
comes to a stop.
Temperature
compensation
The tire inflation pressure is tem-
perature dependent, i.e. it in-
creases or decreases together
with the tire air temperature. The
tire air temperature is dependent
on the ambient temperature, the
driving style and the length of the
journey.
The tire pressures that appear
in the multifunction display are
temperature-compensated; they
are adjusted for a tire air tem-
perature of 68 °F (20 °C). No
temperature compensation is
available in the pressure gages
at filling stations, meaning that
the measured tire pressure varies
according to tire air temperature.
As a result, the pressure figures
indicated by the gauges at fill-
ing stations will usually vary from
those appearing in the multifunc-
tion display.
Adjusting inflation
pressure
Compare the TPC/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 tire
inflation pressure tester at the
filling station.
Example: according to the
Rider's Manual, the tire inflation
pressure is to be 36 psi (2.5 bar),
however 33 psi (2.3 bar) is
shown in the multifunction
display. It is low by 3 psi
(0.2 bar).
The tester at the filling station
indicates 34.8 psi (2.4 bar). This
