Bmw Motorrad Front Wheel - BMW G 650 GS 2010 Rider's Manual

Affect of wheel sizes on
chassis control systems
The wheel sizes play a major role
with the ABS system. Especial-
ly 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 oth-
ers than the wheels installed as
standard equipment can seriously
affect the control comfort of the
system.
The sensor wheels required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the system installed and
may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your mo-
torcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialized
workshop, and preferably a BMW
Motorrad retailer. In some cases
the data stored in the control unit
can be adapted to the new wheel
sizes.
