Adjusting the ride height
The ride height at the rear-wheel
guide can be adjusted via the
traction strut length.
When adjusting the ride height,
be aware that the clearance of
various components cannot be
guaranteed for certain setting
combinations. It is therefore
important to always check the
clearance of the rear wheel
swinging arm and rear wheel
after any changes are made.
Additional tools such as the en-
gine jack or footrest stand are
required to adjust the ride height;
how to handle these tools is not
addressed further. If you are not
sure whether this work is within
your skill range, please contact a
specialist workshop, preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer.
