Tyres

Checking tyre pressure
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the Scooters's handling
characteristics and increase the
rate of tyre wear.
Always check that the tyre pres-
sures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves installed perpen-
dicular to the wheel rim have a
tendency to open as a result of
centrifugal force.
In order to avoid a sudden loss of
tyre pressure, fit a valve cap with
rubber sealing ring to the rear
tyre and make sure that the cap
is screwed on firmly.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the Scooter
on its stand.
Check tyre pressures against
the data below.
Tyre pressure, front
2.4 bar (Tyre cold)
Tyre pressure, rear
2.5 bar (one-up, tyre cold)
2.9 bar (two-up and/or with
luggage, tyre cold)
If tyre pressure is too low:
Correct tyre pressure.

Headlight

Adjusting headlight for
driving on left/driving on
right
This vehicle has a symmetric-
beam low-beam headlight. If
the vehicle is ridden in a coun-
try where the opposite rule of
the road applies, its symmetric

low-beam headlight means that
no measures are necessary to
prevent the headlight beam from
dazzling oncoming traffic.
Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
Consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer, if you are
unsure whether the headlight
beam-throw setting is correct.
