Affect of wheel sizes
on suspension control
systems
The wheel sizes play a major role
in the ABS and ASC 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-
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 can be adapted for
the new wheel sizes.
