ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Checking spokes

firm and park motorcycle.
Sweep across spokes with a
screwdriver handle or similar
item, paying attention to the
sound that they emit as you
proceed.
If the tone does not remain con-
sistent:
Have spokes checked by an

Checking 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.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicating marks.
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 tires concerned.
Wheels
Tyre recommendation
For every size of tyre,
BMW Motorrad has tested and
approved certain makes as
roadworthy. BMW Motorrad
cannot evaluate the suitability of
other tyres, and can therefore
take no responsibility for their
driving safety.
BMW Motorrad recommends
only using the tyres tested and
approved by BMW Motorrad.
The permissible maximum speed
and load capacity figures must
be complied with (see "Technical
Data").
Observe the notes on maximum
speed with studded or winter
tyres ( 71).
