Affect of wheel size on
ABS
z
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 mo-
torcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist ser-
vice facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the con-
trol units can be adapted to the
new wheel sizes.
