Tire recommendation
For every size of tire,
BMW Motorrad has tested and
approved certain makes as
roadworthy. BMW Motorrad
cannot evaluate the suitability of
other tires, and can therefore
take no responsibility for their
driving safety.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only using the tires tested and
approved by BMW Motorrad.
Detailed information can be
obtained from your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or online

Affect of wheel sizes
on suspension control
systems
The wheel sizes play a major
role in the ABS and ASC/DTC
suspension-control systems. The
diameter and width of the wheels
stored in the control unit have
particular significance as the ba-
sis for all necessary calculations.
A change in these sizes resulting
from conversion to wheels not
installed as standard equipment
can seriously affect the control
efficiency of these systems.
The sensor reluctor rings re-
quired for wheel speed detection
must also match the control sys-
tems installed 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
