Technical data

til a speed of approx. 18 mph
(30 km/h) is reached. Before ini-
tial reception of the tire inflation
pressure, -- is shown in the dis-
play for each tire. The sensors
continue to transmit the mea-
sured values for approx. 15 min-
utes after the motorcycle comes
to a stop.
The control unit can manage four
sensors, and as a result two sets
of wheels with TPC/RDC sen-
sors can be driven. If a TPC/RDC
control unit is installed, however
the wheels have no sensors, then
an error message is output.
Tire inflation pressure
ranges
The TPC/RDC control unit distin-
guishes between three tire infla-
tion 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 temperature. The
tire temperature is dependent on
the ambient temperature and on
the driving style and duration.
The tire inflation pressures are
shown temperature-compen-
sated in the multifunction display;
they refer to a tire temperature
of 68 °F (20 °C). No temperature
compensation takes place in the
inflation pressure testers at filling
stations, i.e. the measured tire in-
flation pressure is dependent on
the tire temperature. As a result,
the values displayed there do
not match the values shown in
the multifunction display in most
cases.
Adjusting inflation
pressure
Compare the TPC/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
compensated with the air pres-
sure tester at the filling station.
Example: According to the
Rider's Manual, the tire inflation
pressure is to be 36 psi (2.5 bar),
however 33 psi (2.3 bar) is
shown in the multifunction
display. The tester at the
filling station indicates 34.8 psi
(2.4 bar). This value must be
increased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) to
37.8 psi (2.6 bar) in order to
