stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your mo-

Inform the authorized BMW

On motorcycles equipped with
TPC/RDC, a corresponding
sticker is located on the wheel
rim at the position of the TPC/

change it must be ensured
that the TPC/RDC sensor
is not damaged. Inform the
BMW Motorrad retailer or the
specialized workshop of the TPC/
