FAQ

What is the correct BMW tire pressure?

Tire pressure varies by model, but most BMW motorcycles fall between 1.7 and 2.9 bar depending on tire size, motorcycle weight and load.

Should I check tire pressure cold or hot?

Always check tire pressure when cold for accurate readings.

Does passenger or luggage weight affect tire pressure?
