Repeat the steps in this procedure<br />

correctly.<br />
Tyres<br />
Checking tyre tread depth<br />
Your motorcycle's handling<br />
and grip can be impaired<br />
even before the tyres wear to<br />
the minimum tyre tread depth<br />
permitted by law.<br />
Have the tyres changed in good<br />
time before they wear to the<br />
minimum permissible tread<br />
depth.<br />
Make sure the ground is level<br />
and firm and place the motorcycle<br />
on its stand.<br />
Measure the tyre tread depth<br />
in the main tread grooves with<br />
wear marks.<br />
Tyres have wear indicators<br />
integrated into the main<br />
tread grooves. The tyre is worn<br />
out when the tyre tread has worn<br />
down to the level of the marks.<br />
The locations of the marks are<br />
indicated on the edge of the tyre,<br />
e.g. by the letters TI, TWI or by<br />
an arrow.<br />
If the tyre tread is worn to minimum:<br />
Replace tyre or tyres, as applicable.<br />
Rims<br />
Checking rims<br />
Make sure the ground is level<br />
and firm and place the motorcycle<br />
on its stand.<br />
Visually inspect the rims for<br />
defects.<br />
Have damaged rims checked<br />
and, if necessary, replaced by a<br />
specialist workshop, preferably<br />
an authorised <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong><br />
dealer.<br />
Chain<br />
Lubricating chain<br />
Dirt, dust and inadequate<br />
lubrication will result in accelerated<br />
wear and significantly<br />
shorten the drive chain's useful<br />
life.<br />
Clean and lubricate the drive<br />
chain at regular intervals.<br />
Lubricate the drive chain every<br />
800 km at the latest. Lubricate<br />
the chain more frequently if<br />
the motorcycle is ridden in wet,<br />
dusty or dirty conditions.<br />
Switch the ignition off and select<br />
neutral.<br />
Clean the drive chain with a<br />
suitable cleaning product, dry it<br />
and apply chain lubricant.<br />
<strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong> recommends<br />
the use of <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong><br />
chain lubricant to prolong chain<br />
life.<br />
Wipe off excess lubricant.
