BMW Motorrad R 1200 GS Rider's Manual page 129

Minimum speed for
the transmission of the
RDC/TPC measured values:
min 19 mph (min 30 km/h)
Before initial reception of the tire
--
pressure, is shown in the
display for each tire. The sensors
continue to transmit the mea-
sured readings for some time
after the vehicle comes to a stop.
Transmission time of the
measured values after
vehicle standstill:
min 15 min
If an RDC/TPC control unit is in-
stalled but the wheels have no
sensors, a fault message is gen-
erated.
Tire inflation pressure
ranges
The RDC/TPC control unit distin-
guishes between three inflation
pressure ranges matched to the
motorcycle:
Inflation pressure within the
permissible tolerance.
Inflation pressure at the limits
of the permissible tolerance.
Inflation pressure outside the
permissible tolerance.
Temperature
compensation
The tire inflation pressure is tem-
perature dependent, i.e. it in-
creases or decreases together
with the tire air temperature. The
tire temperature is dependent on
the outside temperature, the rid-
ing style and the length of the
journey.
The tire pressures are
shown in the multifunc-
tion display with temperature
compensation and are always
based on the following tire air
temperature:
68 °F (20 °C)
Tire pressure gages at gas sta-
tions do not make any adjust-
ment for the air temperature,
the tire pressure indicated de-
pends on the temperature of the
air in the tire. As a result, in most
cases the values displayed there
do not match the values shown
in the multifunction display.
Tire pressure adjustment
Compare the RDC/TPC value in
the multifunction display with the
value on the back cover of the
Rider's Manual. The difference
between the two values must
be compensated with the tire
