Remove The Front Wheel - BMW R 1200 RT Rider's Manual

If the motorcycle is equipped
with RDC, each wheel rim bears
an adhesive label indicating the
position of the RDC sensor.
When changing the tyre, take
care not to damage the RDC
sensor. Be sure to draw the
attention of the authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer or specialist
workshop to the fact that the
wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor.
