Effect of wheel sizes on
suspension control systems
The wheel sizes play an impor-
tant role in the suspension con-
trol system ABS. The diameter
and width of the wheels stored
in the control unit have partic-
ular significance as the basis
for all necessary calculations. A
change in these sizes resulting
from conversion to wheels not
installed as standard equipment
can seriously affect the control
efficiency of these systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must
also match the installed con-
trol systems and may not be
replaced.
If you want to convert your
motorcycle to different wheels,
please contact a specialist
workshop, preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In
some cases, the data stored
in the control units can be
adapted for the new wheel
sizes.
Removing front wheel
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and put the motorcy-
cle on its center stand.
Detach wheel speed sensor
cable from holding clips 1
and 2.
Remove the screw 3 and re-
move the wheel speed sen-
sor from the drilled hole.
Mask off areas of the wheel
rim that could get scratched
in the process of removing
the brake calipers.
ATTENTION
Unintentional pressing to-
gether of brake pads
Component damage when
mounting the brake caliper or
when pressing the brake pads
apart
Do not actuate the brakes
with the brake caliper re-
moved.
