The clutch system is

Tires
Checking tire tread
depth
Your motorcycle's
handling and grip can
be impaired even before the
tires wear to the minimum tire
tread depth permitted by law.
Have the tires changed in
good time before they wear
to the minimum permissible
tread depth.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth
in main tread grooves with
wear indicating marks.
Tires have wear indica-
tors integrated into the
main tread grooves. If the tire
tread has worn down to the
level of the marks, the tire is
completely worn. The loca-
tions of the marks are indi-
cated on the edge of the tire,
e.g. by the letters TI, TWI or
by an arrow.
If tire tread depth no longer
complies with legally required
minimum tread depth:
Replace tire.
Rims
Checking rims
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Visually inspect rims for de-
fects.
Have damaged rims
checked and, if necessary,
replaced by a specialized
workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
Wheels
Approved wheels and
tires
For each size of tire BMW
Motorrad tests certain makes,
and approves those that it
certifies as roadworthy. If
BMW Motorrad has not ap-
proved the wheels and tires, it
cannot assess their suitability
or provide any guarantee of
road safety.
Use only wheels and tires ap-
proved by BMW Motorrad for
your type of motorcycle.
You can obtain detailed infor-
mation from your authorized
BMW motorcycle retailer or
on the Internet at www.bmw-
motorrad.com.
