Removing Front Wheel - BMW K 1300 S Rider's Manual

Affect of wheel sizes on
chassis control systems
The wheel sizes play a major role
in the chassis control systems
ABS and ASC. Especially the di-
ameter and width of the wheels
are stored in the control unit as
the basis for all necessary calcu-
lations. A change in these sizes
due to conversion to others than
the wheels installed as standard
equipment can seriously affect
the control comfort of these sys-
tems.
The sensor wheels required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the control systems in-
stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your mo-
torcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist ser-
vice facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the con-
trol units can be adapted to the
new wheel sizes.
TCP/RDC sticker
with Tire Pressure Control
(TPC/RDC) OE
If tires are inexpertly re-
moved, the RDC sensors
may be damaged.
Inform the authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or the
specialist service facility on the
fact that the wheel is equipped
with a RDC sensor.
On motorcycles equipped with
TCP/RDC, a corresponding
sticker is located on the wheel
rim at the position of the TCP/
RDC sensor. During a tire
change it must be ensured
that the TCP/RDC sensor
is not damaged. Inform the
BMW Motorrad retailer or the
authorized workshop of the TCP/
RDC sensor.
