Removing Front Wheel - BMW S 1000XR Rider's Manual

Affect of wheel sizes

on suspension control
systems

The wheel sizes play a major role
in the ASC and DTC suspension-
control systems. The diameter
and width of the wheels stored
in the control unit have particular
significance as the basis for all
necessary calculations. A change
in these sizes resulting from con-
version to wheels not installed
as standard equipment can seri-
z
ously affect the control efficiency
of these systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the installed control sys-
tems and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your
motorcycle with different wheels,
please contact a specialist
service facility, preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the
control units must be adapted to
the new wheel sizes.
