Incorrect tyre-removal
procedures can result in
damage to the RDC sensors.
Be sure to notify the author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer or
specialist workshop that the
wheel is fitted with an RDC
sensor. If the motorcycle is equipped
with RDC, each wheel rim
bears an adhesive label indic-
ating the position of the RDC
sensor. When changing the
tyre, take care not to damage
the RDC sensor. Be sure to
draw the attention of the au-
thorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er or specialist workshop to
the fact that the wheel is fitted
with an RDC sensor.

slipped back over the brake
disc on reassembly.
Do not operate the handbrake
lever when the brake calipers
have been removed.
Remove securing screws 3
of the brake calipers on left

Integral ABS:The left axle clamping
screw locates the
threaded bush in the front
suspension. If the threaded
bush is not correctly aligned
the gap between the ABS
sensor ring and the ABS
sensor will not be correct and
this can cause the ABS to
malfunction or allow the ABS
sensor to be damaged.
In order to ensure that the
threaded bush remains cor-
rectly aligned, do not slacken
or remove the left axle camp-
ing screw.
Remove right-hand axle
clamping screw 6.
Remove quick-release
axle 7, holding the wheel as
you do so. Lower the front wheel to the
ground between the front
forks.
Roll the front wheel forward
to remove.

Installing front wheel
ABS malfunctions on ac-
count of incorrect speed
signal.
Segmentation differs between
individual types of sensor
ring; it is very important to en-
sure that the correct sensor
ring is installed. Install only
the sensor ring that matches the motorcycle's construction
status.
Threaded fasteners not
tightened to the spe-
cified torque can work loose
or their threads can suffer
damage.
Always have the security of
the fasteners checked by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised BMW Mo-
torrad dealer.
The front wheel must be
installed right way round
to rotate in the correct direc-
tion.
Note the direction-of-rotation
arrows on the tyre or the
wheel rim.
Roll the front wheel into
position between the front
forks.
