Affect of wheel sizes on
chassis control systems
The wheel sizes play a major role
in the chassis control systems
ABS and ASC. Especially the di-
ameter and width of the wheels
are stored in the control unit as
the basis for all necessary calcu-
lations. A change in these sizes
due to conversion to others than
the wheels installed as standard
equipment can seriously affect
the control comfort of these sys-
tems.
The sensor wheels required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the control systems in-
stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your mo-
torcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist ser-
vice facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the con-
trol units can be adapted to the
new wheel sizes.
