Subject wheel rims to visual
inspection for defects.
Have damaged rims checked
and, if necessary, replaced
by a specialist service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Check tire tread depth
WARNING
Riding with heavily worn
tyres
Risk of accident due to poorer
rideability
If necessary, replace the tyres
before the legally specified
minimum tread depth is
reached.
Park the Scooter, making sure
the ground is level and firm.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicators.
NOTICE
Tread wear marks are integrated
into the main grooves on every
tire. If the tire tread has worn
down to the level of the marks,
the tire is completely worn. The
locations of the marks are indi-
cated on the edge of the tire, e.g.
by the letters TI, TWI or by an
arrow.
When the minimum tread depth
is reached:
Replace the worn tires.

Tire recommendation
For every size of tire,
BMW Motorrad has tested and
approved certain makes as
roadworthy. BMW Motorrad
cannot evaluate the suitability of
other tires, and can therefore
take no responsibility for their
driving safety.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only using the tires tested and
approved by BMW Motorrad.
Detailed information can be
obtained from your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or online

Influence of the wheel
sizes on the ABS
The wheel sizes play an impor-
tant role in the ABS system. The
diameter and width of the wheels
stored in the control unit have
particular significance as the ba-
sis for all necessary calculations.
A change in these sizes result-
ing from fitting wheels other than
those fitted as standard equip-
ment can seriously affect the
control efficiency of this system.
The sensor rings are essential
for correct wheel speed detec-
tion; they too must match the
vehicle's built-in system and con-
