Tire recommendation
For every size of tire,
BMW Motorrad has tested and
approved certain makes as
roadworthy. BMW Motorrad
cannot evaluate the suitability of
other tires, and can therefore
take no responsibility for their
z
driving safety.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only using the tires tested and
approved by BMW Motorrad.
Detailed information can be
obtained from your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or online

Affect of wheel size on
ABS
Wheel sizes greatly affect the
function of the ABS system. Es-
pecially 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 wheels not installed as stan-
dard equipment can seriously af-
fect the control comfort of these
systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the control systems in-
stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your
motorcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist
service facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the
control units can be adapted to
the new wheel sizes.
