Rims and Tires

Checking rims
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Visually inspect rims for de-
fects.
Have damaged rims checked
and, if necessary, replaced
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW
Motorrad retailer.
Checking tire tread depth
The handling of your mo-
torcycle can already change
for the worse before the legally
prescribed minimum tread depth
is reached.
Have tires replaced even be-
fore the minimum tread depth
is reached.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicating marks.
Tires have wear indicators
integrated into the main
tread grooves. 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 tires concerned.

Chain

Lubricating chain
Dirt, dust and insufficient
lubrication will considerably
shorten the service life of the
drive chain.

chain regularly.
