Checking wheel rims
d Warning:
Have damaged wheel rims
checked and, if necessary,
replaced by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an author-
ised BMW motorcycle dealer.
Use only wheels and tyres
that BMW Motorrad has ap-
proved for your motorcycle.
For each size of tyre BMW
tests certain makes, and ap-
proves those that it certifies
as roadworthy.
If BMW Motorrad has not ap-
proved the wheels and tyres it
cannot assess their suitability
or provide any guarantee of
road safety.
d Warning:
You can obtain detailed infor-
mation on approved tyre
sizes and makes from your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer or by visiting
www.bmw-motorrad.com on
the Internet

Comply with local legal re-
quirements concerning mini-
mum tread depth. Worn tyres
can impair handling.
Measure tread depth at the
centre of the tyre tread
BMW's minimum tread depth
