Approved wheels and
tyres
For each size of tyre BMW Mo-
torrad tests certain makes, and
approves those that it certifies
as roadworthy. If BMW Motorrad
has not approved the wheels and
tyres, it cannot assess their suit-
ability or provide any guarantee
of road safety.
Use only wheels and tyres ap-
proved by BMW Motorrad for
your type of motorcycle.
You can obtain detailed informa-
tion from your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer or on the Inter-
net at www.bmw-motorrad.com.
RDC label
OE
Incorrect tyre-removal pro-
cedures can result in dam-
age to the RDC sensors.
Be sure to notify the authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer or spe-
cialist workshop that the wheel is
fitted with an RDC sensor.
If the motorcycle is equipped
with RDC, each wheel rim bears
an adhesive label indicating the
position of the RDC sensor.
When changing the tyre, take
care not to damage the RDC
sensor. Be sure to draw the
attention of the authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer or specialist
workshop to the fact that the
wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor.
