At high road speeds, tire
4
valves have a tendency to
open as a result of centrifugal
46
force.
Fit metal valve caps with rubber
seals and screw them on firmly
to prevent sudden deflation.
Check tire pressures against
the data below.
Tire pressure, front
z
31.9 psi (2.2 bar) (Single rid-
er, with cold tire)
With OA Passenger footrest:
31.9 psi (2.2 bar) (Driver with
passenger and/or load, with
cold tire)
Tire pressure, rear
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Single rid-
er, with cold tire)
With OA Passenger footrest:
Tire pressure, rear
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Driver with
passenger and/or load, with
cold tire)
If tire pressure is too low:
Correct tire pressure.
Headlight
Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asymmet-
ric low-beam headlight will tend
to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight adjusted to
the relevant conditions by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad retail-
er.
Headlight range and
spring preload
The headlight range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state.
Spring preload adjustment may
only be insufficient when the mo-
torcycle is very heavily loaded.
In this case, the headlight range
must be adjusted to the weight.
If you are unsure whether
the basic headlight setting
is correct, consult a specialized
workshop, preferably an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Seat
Removing seat
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park the motorcycle.
