Tires
Checking tire tread depth
The handling of your mo-
torcycle can already change
for the worse before the legally
prescribed minimum tread depth
is reached.
Have tires replaced even be-
fore the minimum tread depth
is reached.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicating marks.
Tires have wear indicators
integrated into the main
tread grooves. If the tire tread
has worn down to the level of
the marks, the tire is completely
worn. The locations of the marks
are indicated on the edge of the
tire, e.g. by the letters TI, TWI or
by an arrow.
If the tire tread depth no longer
complies with the legally required
minimum tread depth:
Replace tire.
Rims
Visual inspection
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Visually inspect rims for de-
fects.
Have damaged rims checked
and, if necessary, replaced by
a specialized workshop, prefer-
ably an authorized BMW Mo-
torrad retailer.
Wheels
Approved wheels and
tires
For every size of tire, BMW Mo-
torrad has tested certain makes
and approved those it has found
to be roadworthy. If you use
wheels and tires that have not
been approved, BMW Motorrad
cannot assess their suitability or
provide any guarantee as to their
road safety.
Use only wheels and tires that
BMW Motorrad has approved for
your type of motorcycle.
