BMW S 1000XR 2018 User Manual

Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various lean angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
Loss of adhesion of new tires
on wet roads and at extreme
angles
Accident hazard
Always think well ahead and
avoid extreme angles.
Shifting gears
Shiftpoint light
The shiftpoint light 1 indicates
the engine speed thresholds for

Shifting speed
During driving the shiftpoint
light 1 indicates the speed at
which the rider should shift into
the next-highest gear.
Shiftpoint light flashes at the
preset frequency: engine
speed will soon reach upshift
rpm.
Shiftpoint light goes out: shift-
ing speed reached.
The engine rpm limits and the
shiftpoint lamp's display char-
acteristics can both be adjusted
in the SETUP EQUIPMENT sub-
menu.
