Wheel rims and tires

Check wheel rims
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Subject wheel rims to visual
inspection for defects.
Have damaged rims checked
and, if necessary, replaced
by a specialist service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Checking spokes
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Sweep across spokes with a
screwdriver handle or similar
item, paying attention to result-
ing series of notes.
If you hear an uneven series of
notes:
Have spokes checked by an
authorized 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.
