Tires
Checking tire pressure
Incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure results in poorer hand-
ing characteristics of the motor-
cycle and reduces the life of the
tires.
Ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.
At high road speeds, tire
valves installed perpen-
dicular to the wheel rim have a
tendency to open as a result of
centrifugal force.
In order to avoid a sudden loss of
tire inflation pressure, fit a valve
cap with rubber sealing ring to
the rear tire and make sure that
the cap is screwed on firmly.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Check tire pressures against
data below.
Tire pressure, front
31.9 psi (2.2 bar) (With tire
cold)
Tire pressure, rear
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (With tire
cold)
Tire pressure for sport

Headlight
Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asymmet-
ric low-beam headlight will tend
to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight adjusted to
the relevant conditions by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad retail-
er.
