The sensors are equipped with a
centrifugal governor, which does
not enable the transmission of
the measured readings until the
defined minimum speed is ex-
ceeded for the first time.
Minimum speed for
transmission of RDC
measured data:
min 6 mph (min 10 km/h)
Before initial reception of the tire
inflation pressure, -- is shown
in the display for each tire. The
sensors continue to transmit the
measured readings for some af-
ter the vehicle comes to a stop.
Duration of measured
data transmission after
motorcycle is stationary:
min 15 min
If an RDC control unit is fitted
but the wheels have no sensors,
a fault message is generated.
Tire inflation pressure
ranges
The RDC control unit distin-
guishes between three inflation
pressure ranges matched to the
motorcycle:
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 air temperature. The
tire temperature is dependent on
the outside temperature, the rid-
ing style and the length of the
journey.
The tire pressures are
shown adjusted for tem-
perature on the multifunction
display and are always relative
to the following tire air temper-
ature:
68 °F (20 °C)
Tire pressure gages at gas sta-
tions do not make any adjust-
ment for the air temperature,
the tire pressure indicated de-
pends on the temperature of the
air in the tire. 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 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
