Running in new tyres
d
Warning:
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened
by riding in a restrained manner
at various heel angles until the
tyres are run in.
This running in procedure is
essential if the tyres are to reach
their maximum level of grip.
Running in
new brake pads
d
Warning:
New brake pads must "bed
down" and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 500 km
(300 miles).
This slight initial reduction in
braking efficiency can be
compensated for by exerting
greater pressure on the lever.
Try to avoid all unnecessary
hard braking during this initial
period.

Attention:
Comply with the notes on BMW
Integral ABS (
