BMW F 800 GT User Manual

Affect of wheel size on
ABS
Wheel sizes greatly affect the
function of the ABS system. Es-
pecially the diameter and width
of the wheels are stored in the
control unit as the basis for all
necessary calculations. A change
in these sizes due to conversion
to wheels not installed as stan-
dard equipment can seriously af-
fect the control comfort of these
systems.
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the control systems in-
stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your
motorcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist
service facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the
control units can be adapted to
the new wheel sizes.

sors
Inform a specialist service
facility or an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer on the
fact that the wheel is equipped
with a TPC/RDC sensor.
On motorcycles equipped with
TPC/RDC, a corresponding
sticker is located on the wheel
rim in close proximity to the
TPC/RDC sensor.
