WheelsFor each tyre size, certain tyre
makes have been tested by
BMW Motorrad, classified as
safe for road traffic and
approved. If BMW Motorrad
has not approved the wheels
and tyres, it cannot assess
their suitability or provide any
guarantee of road safety. Use
only wheels and tyres
approved by BMW Motorrad
for your type of motorcycle.
You can obtain detailed infor-
mation from your authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer or on
the Internet at www.bmw-
motorrad.com.
Checking the rims• Place the motorcycle on the
centre stand
OA or side
stand, ensuring that the
ground is firm and level.
• Perform a visual inspection
to check for defective points.
• Have damaged rims
checked and, if necessary,
replaced by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer.
Checking the tyre tread
depth The minimum tyre tread depths
legally prescribed in each coun-
try apply.
The handling characteris-
tics of your motorcycle
can deteriorate even before the
legally prescribed minimum
tread depth has been reached. Have the tyres replaced before
this minimum tread depth is
reached.c
There is a wear indicating
mark on each tyre, inte-
grated in the main tread
grooves. If the tyre tread has
worn down to the level of the
marks, the tyre is completely
worn. The locations of the
marks are indicated on the
edge of the tyre, e.g. by the
letters TI, TWI or by an arrow.c
• Only measure the tyre tread
depth in the main tread
grooves with wear indicating
marks.
