Off-roading
After off-roading
BMW Motorrad recommends
checking the following after riding
the motorcycle off-road:
Tyre pressure
WARNING
Riding on surfaced roads
with tyre pressures lowered
for off-roading.
Risk of accident due to impaired
handling characteristics.
Always check that the tyre
pressures are correct.
Brakes
WARNING
Riding on unsurfaced roads
or dirty road surfaces.
Delayed braking effect due to
dirty brake discs and brake pads.
Apply the brakes in good time
until the brakes have been
cleaned.
ATTENTION
Riding on unsurfaced roads
or dirty road surfaces.
Increased brake-pad wear.
Check the thickness of the
brake pads more frequently
and replace the brake pads in
good time.
Spring preload and shock-
absorber settings
WARNING
Changed values for spring
preload and spring-strut
damping for riding off-road.
Impaired handling characteristics
on surfaced roads.
If you have been off-roading,
be sure to correct spring pre-
load and spring-strut damping
characteristics before you re-
turn to surfaced roads.
Rims
BMW Motorrad recommends
checking the rims for damage
after off-roading.
Air filter element
ATTENTION
Dirty air-filter element.
Engine damage
If you ride in dusty terrain
check the air filter element for
clogging at shorter intervals;
clan or replace as necessary.
Operation in very dusty condi-
tions (desert, steppes, or the like)
necessitates the use of air filter
elements specially designed for
conditions of this nature.
