Tire inflation pressure
ranges
The TCP control unit distin-
guishes between 3 inflation pres-
sure ranges matched to the mo-
torcycle:
Inflation pressure within the
permissible tolerance
Inflation pressure at the limits
of the permissible tolerance
Inflation pressure outside the
permissible tolerance
Temperature
compensation
The tire inflation pressure is tem-
perature dependent, i.e., it in-
creases or decreases together
with the tire temperature. The
tire temperature is dependent on
the outside temperature and on
the driving style and duration.
The tire inflation pressures are
shown temperature-compensated
in the multifunction display; they
refer to a tire temperature of 68
°F (20 °C). No temperature com-
pensation takes place in the infla-
tion pressure testers at filling sta-
tions, meaning that the measured
tire inflation pressure varies ac-
cording to tyre temperature. As
a result, in most cases the values
displayed there do not match the
values shown in the multifunction
display.
Adjusting inflation
pressure
Compare the TCP/RDC value in
the multifunction display with the
value on the back cover of the
Rider's Manual. The difference
between the two values must be
compensated with the air pres-
sure tester at the filling station.
Example: According to the
Rider's Manual, the tire inflation
pressure is to be 36.3 psi
(2.5 bar), however 33.4 psi
(2.3 bar) is shown in the
multifunction display, i.e. it is low
by 2.9 psi (0.2 bar). The tester at
the filling station indicates 34.8
psi (2.4 bar). This value must be
increased by 2.9 psi (0.2 bar) to
37.7 psi (2.6 bar) to produce the
correct tire inflation pressure.
