General instructions To find out more about engineering, go ta: BMW-matorrad. nanotechnology Anti-lock brake system (ABS) Partially integral brakes Your motorcycle is equipped with partially integral brakes. Both front and rear brakes are applied when you pull the handbrake lever. The foot brake lever acts only on the rear brake.
nation and so ensure driving stability. As soon as is registers the actual circumstances, the system reacts instantly and adjusts braking force accordingly to achieve optimum braking. What feedback does the rider receive from the BMW Motor rad Integral ABS? If tha ABS system has to reduce braking fora on account of the circumstances described above, vibration is perceptible through the handbrake Ever.
prognosis has to complete before fault messages can be issued. In addition to problems with the BMW Motor rad ABS, exceptional riding conditions can also cause a fault message to be issued: ~ Heating up with the motorcycle on the center stand or an auxiliary stand, engine idling or with a gear engaged. — Rear wheel locked by the engine brake for a lengthy period, for example while descending on a loose or slippery surface.
sharp braking. ABS Pro reduces abrupt changes in steering force, particularly in panic braking situations, counteracting tha vehicle's otherwise natural but undesirable tendency to straighten up. ABS intervention Technically speaking, depending on the riding situation ABS Pro adapts ABS intervention to tha motorcycle's bank angle. Signals for rate of roll and rate of yaw and lateral acceleration are used to calculate bank angle.
sky riding Risk of accident despite ASC = Invariably, the rider bears responsibility for assessing road and traffic conditions and adopting his or her style of riding accordingly. = Do not take risks that would negate the additional safety offered by this system.« Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) How does traction control work? Traction control is available in two versions — without provision for the bank angle: Automatic Stability Control ASC ~ ASC is a rudimentary function intended to prevent falls.
— with riding modes Pro%E If the electronic processor receives values for the bank angle that it considers implausible over a lengthy period, a dummy value ig used for the bank angle or the DTC function is switched off. Under these circumstances the indicator for a DTC fault shows. Self-diagnosis has to complete bars fault messages can be issued. The BMW Motor rad Traction Control can shut down automatically under the exceptional riding conditions outlined below.
Engineering detects Dynamic ESA ~ with Dynamic ES ACE ding position equalizer The electronic chassis and ‘suspension adjustment Dynamic ESA is able ta adjust your motorcycle automatically to the load. If the spring reload is set to Auto, the rider does not eve to change the load settings. When driving off and when riding, the system monitors the suspension on the rear whee! and comments the spring reload in order to set the riding position correctly. The damping is also adjusted automatically to the load.
For each of these riding modes there is a calibrated setting for the Abs, ASC and DTC systems as well as for the throttle response. ~ with Dynamic ES ACE The adjustment of the Dynamic ESA also depends on the riding mode selected. ABS landlord ASCETIC can be switched off in every riding made.
with riding modes Pro®E DTC Tyre In RAIN, ROAD, DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC PRO riding modes, DTC is calibrated to on-road operation with road treys. ~ In ENDURE riding mode, DTC is calibrated to off-road operation with road treys. — In ENDURE PRO riding mods, DTC is calibrated to off-road operation with studded treys. Driving stability ~ In RAIN riding mode, DTC intervenes early enough to achieve maximum driving stability. ~ In ROAD riding mods, DTC intervenes later than in RAIN riding mode.
Tyre pressure monitoring (RDC) ~ with Tyre pressure control (RDC)9E Function A sensor integrated into each Tyre measures the air temperature and the air pressure inside tha Tyre and transmits this information to the control unit The sensors are fitted with a centrifugal-force trip switch which allows the measured values to be transmitted after the minimum speed is exceeded the first time.

Pressure adaptation Com para the RDC value on tha TFT display with the value in the table on the back cover of the Rider's Manual. Then use the &Ir-line gauge at a service station to compensate for the difference between the RDC reading and the value in the table. id! Example Missing 0.
spring through a certain "over travel" at ordinary speed or rapidly and keep the shift lever in this position until the gearshift is completed. It is not necessary to increase the force applied to the shift lever while shifting is in progress. Once the gearshift has completed the shift lever has ta ba fully released before another gearshift with the Pro shift assistant can take place.
not necessary to tun the throttle grip again. ~ If the motorcycle is stopped by applying high brake pressure, high pressure is built up. In this case, the brakes take longer lo release when driving off. More torque is required for driving off which also requires the rider to tum the throttle grip again. Behavior when the motorcycle rolls or slips ~ If the motorcycle rolls when Hill Start Control is activated, the holding pressure is increased.
