Wheels

Affect of wheel sizes
on suspension control
systems
The wheel sizes play an impor-
tant role with DTC. The diameter
and width of the wheels stored
in the control unit have particular
significance as the basis for all
necessary calculations. A change
in these sizes resulting from con-
version to wheels not installed
as standard equipment can seri-
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 must be adapted to
the new wheel sizes.

ATTENTION
Improper tire removal
Damage to the TPC/RDC sen-
sors
Inform a specialist service
facility or an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer on the
fact that the wheel is equipped
with a TPC/RDC sensor.
On motorcycles equipped with
RDC, a corresponding label
can be found on the rim at the
position of the RDC sensor.
When changing tires, ensure
that the RDC sensor is not
damaged. Inform the authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or the
specialist workshop about the
RDC sensor.
