Wheels - BMW R 1150 RS Rider's Manual

Checking wheel rims
Have damaged wheel rims
checked and, if necessary,
replaced by an authorized
BMW motorcycle retailer.
Checking tire tread
Comply with local legal re-
quirements concerning mini-
mum tread depth. Worn tires
can impair handling.
• Measure tread depth at the
center of the tire tread
BMW's minimum tread depth
recommendation:
Front.............. 0.0787 in (2 mm)
Rear .............. 0.1181 in (3 mm)
Screwing valve caps on
tightly
At high road speeds, tire
valves have a tendency to
come unscrewed as a result
of centrifugal force.
Use only metal valve caps
with rubber seals.
Valve caps that are screwed
on well prevent air from es-
caping suddenly.
