Incorrect tyre fitting can
damage the RDC sensors.
Be sure to explain to the au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer
or the specialist workshop that
the wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor.
If the motorcycle is equipped
with RDC, each wheel rim bears
an adhesive label indicating the
position of the RDC sensor.
When a tyre is being changed,
special care must be taken not
to damage the RDC sensor. Be
sure to draw the attention of the
authorised BMW Motorrad dealer
or specialist workshop to the fact
that the wheel is fitted with an
RDC sensor.
