Effect of wheel size on
chassis and suspension
control systems
The wheel sizes are very im-
portant for the ABS. In particu-
lar, the diameter and the width
of the vehicle's wheels are pro-
grammed into the control unit
and are fundamental to all cal-
culations. Any change to these
dimensions, caused for example
by a switch to wheels other than
the standard installed ones, can
seriously affect the performance
of the control systems.
The sensor rings are essential
for correct wheel speed detec-
tion; they too must match the
motorcycle's control systems and
consequently cannot be replaced.
If you decide that you would like
to fit non-standard wheels to
your motorcycle, it is very im-
portant to consult a specialist
workshop beforehand, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Removing front wheel
