Removing Front Wheel - BMW S 1000RR Owner's Manual

Effects of wheel size

on suspension-control
systems

The wheel sizes play a major role
in the chassis control systems
ABS and DTC. The diameter and
width of the wheels stored in the
control unit have particular sig-
nificance as the basis for all nec-
essary calculations. A change in
these sizes resulting from con-
version to wheels not installed
as standard equipment can seri-
z
ously affect the control efficiency
of these systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the installed control sys-
tems and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your
motorcycle with different wheels,
please contact a specialist
service facility, preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the
control units can be adapted for
the new wheel sizes.
