on the performance of the con-
trol systems.
The sensor rings are essential
for correct road-speed calcula-
tion, and they too must match
the motorcycle's control sys-
tems and consequently cannot
be changed.
If you decide that you would like
to fit non-standard wheels to
your motorcycle, it is very import-
ant to consult a specialist work-
shop beforehand, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad Re-
tailer. In these cases, the data
programmed into the control
units has to be changed to suit
the new wheel sizes.

Damage to RDC sensors
Be sure to explain to the spe-
cialist workshop or authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer that the
wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor.
An appropriate sticker will
be found on the rim at the
position of the RDC sensor on
motorcycles fitted with RDC.
Take care that the RDC sensor
is not damaged when the tyre is
changed. Draw the attention of
your BMW Motorrad retailer or
the specialist workshop to the
RDC sensor.
