Wheel rims and tires

Checking wheel rims
Park motorcycle on a level, firm
surface.
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.
Check tire tread depth
WARNING
Riding with heavily worn
tyres
Risk of accident due to poorer
rideability
If necessary, replace the tyres
before the legally specified
minimum tread depth is
reached.
Park motorcycle on a level, firm
surface.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicators.
NOTICE
Tread wear marks are integrated
into the main grooves on every
tire. If the tire tread has worn
down to the level of the marks,
the tire is completely worn. The
locations of the marks are indi-
cated 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 the worn tires.
