vehicle's wheels are programmed
into the control unit and are fun-
damental to all calculations. Any
change in these influencing vari-
ables, caused for example by a
switch to non-standard installed
wheels, can have serious effects
on the performance of the con-
trol systems.
The sensor rings are essential
for correct road-speed calcula-
tion, and they too must match
the motorcycle's control sys-
tems and consequently cannot
be changed.
If you decide that you would like
to fit non-standard wheels to
your motorcycle, it is very im-
portant to consult a specialist
workshop beforehand, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer. In some cases, the data
programmed into the control
units can be changed to suit the
new wheel sizes.
RDC adhesive label
with tyre pressure monitoring
(RDC)
OE
Incorrect tyre fitting can
damage the RDC sensors.
Be sure to explain to the au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer
or the specialist workshop that
the wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor.
If the motorcycle is equipped
with RDC, each wheel rim bears
an adhesive label indicating the
position of the RDC sensor.
Removing front wheel
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Remove screw 1 and remove
the speed sensor from its bore.
