Wheels - BMW F 800 GS Adventure 2015 Rider's Manual

Wheels

Tire recommendation
For every tire size,
BMW Motorrad has tested
certain tire brands and approved
those it has found to be
roadworthy. If you use wheels
and tires that have not been
approved, BMW Motorrad cannot
assess their suitability or provide
any guarantee as to their road
safety.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only using the tires tested and
approved by BMW Motorrad.
The permissible maximum speed
and load capacity figures must
be complied with (see "Technical
Data").
Observe the notes on maximum
speed with studded or winter
tyres ( 73).
Extensive information is
available at your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or on
the Internet at www.bmw-
motorrad.com.
Affect of wheel sizes
on suspension control
systems
The wheel sizes play a major role
for 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 comfort
of these systems.
The sensor reluctor rings re-
quired for wheel speed detec-
tion must also match the installed
control systems and may not be
replaced.
If you want to equip your
motorcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist
service facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the
control units can be adapted to
the new wheel sizes.
Removing front wheel
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Remove screw 1 and take
wheel speed sensor out of
bore.
