If tires are inexpertly re-
moved, the TPC sensors

Inform the authorized

with a TPC sensor.
On motorcycles equipped with
TPC, there is a sticker on the
wheel near to the position of the
TPC sensor. When changing the
tire, it is important to take care
not to damage the TPC sen-
sor. Draw the attention of the
BMW Motorrad retailer or tire fit-
ter to the TPC sensor.
