Checking tyre tread depth
WARNING
Riding with badly worn tyres
Risk of accident due to impaired
handling
If applicable, have the tyres
changed in good time before
they wear to the minimum
tread depth permitted by law.
Place the motorcycle on its
stand on firm, even ground.
Measure the tyre tread depth
in the main tread grooves with
wear marks.
NOTICE
Wear indicators are built into the
main profile grooves on each
tyre. The tyre is worn out when
the tyre tread has worn down
to the level of the marks. The
locations of the marks are indic-
ated on the edge of the tyre, e.g.
by the letters TI, TWI or by an
arrow.
If the tyre tread is worn to min-
imum:
Replace tyre or tyres, as applic-
able.
Rims
Checking rims
Place the motorcycle on its
stand on firm, even ground.
Visually inspect the rims for
defects.
Have damaged rims inspected
by a specialist workshop
and replaced if necessary,
preferably by an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Checking spokes
Place the motorcycle on its
stand on firm, even ground.
Use a screwdriver handle or
similar object to brush over the
spokes and pay attention to
the sequence of sounds.
If the sequence of sounds is ir-
regular:
Have the spokes checked
by a specialist workshop,
preferably by an authorised
BMW Motorrad Retailer.
