Tire inflation pressure ranges
The RDC control unit distin-
guishes between three inflation
pressure ranges matched to
the motorcycle:
Tire pressure within the per-
missible tolerance
Tire pressure within the limit
range of the permissible toler-
ance
Tire pressure outside of the
permissible tolerance
Temperature compensation
The tire pressure is tempera-
ture dependent, i.e. it increases
or decreases together with the
tire air temperature. The tire
temperature is dependent on
the outside temperature, the
riding style and the length of
the journey.
The tire pressures are shown in
the multifunction display with
temperature compensation and
are always based on a tire air
temperature of 68 °F (20 °C).
Tire pressure gauges at filling
stations do not compensate for
temperature; the tire pressure
that is measured depends on
the tire air temperature. As a
result, in most cases the values
displayed there do not match
the values shown in the display.
Tire pressure adjustment
Compare the RDC value in the
TFT display with the value on
the back cover of the operat-
ing instructions. The difference
between the two values must
be compensated with the tire
inflation pressure tester at the
filling station.
Example
According to the rider's man-
ual, the tire pressure should
have the following value:
36.3 psi (2.5 bar)
The following value is dis-
played in the TFT display:
33.4 psi (2.3 bar)
Missing is thus:
2.9 psi (0.2 bar)
The tester at the filling sta-
tion shows:
34.8 psi (2.4 bar)
To produce the correct
tire pressure, this must be
increased to the following
value:
37.7 psi (2.6 bar)
175
