Brake padsNew brake pads have to be runin before they can achieve theiroptimum frictional force. You cancompensate for this initial reduc-tion in braking efficiency by ex-erting greater pressure on thelevers.

WARNING

New brake padsLonger stopping distance, risk ofaccident

Apply the brakes in goodtime.

TyresNew tyres have a smooth sur-face. This must be roughened byriding in a restrained manner atvarious heel angles until the tyresare run in. This running in pro-cedure is essential if the tyres areto achieve maximum grip.

679

z Rid

ing

WARNING

New tyres losing grip on wetroads and at extreme bankanglesRisk of accident

Ride carefully and avoid ex-tremely sharp inclines.

BrakesHow can stoppingdistance be minimised?Each time the brakes are applied,a load distribution shift takesplace with the load shifting for-ward from the rear to the frontwheel. The sharper the vehicledecelerates, the more load isshifted to the front wheel. Thehigher the wheel load, the morebraking force can be transmittedwithout the wheel locking.To optimise stopping distance,apply the front brakes rapidly andkeep on increasing the force you

apply to the brake lever. Thismakes the best possible use ofthe dynamic increase in load atthe front wheel. Remember topull the clutch at the same time.In the event of extreme emer-gency braking (a situation that isintensively practised), as part ofwhich the brake pressure mustbe generated as quickly as pos-sible and using all available force,dynamic load distribution is un-able to following the increase indeceleration and consequentlythe brake force cannot be fullytransferred to the roadway.BMW Motorrad ABS preventsthe front wheels from locking.

Emergency brakingIf you brake sharply from a speedin excess of 50 km/h, the brakelight flashes rapidly as a warningfor road users behind you.If you brake until your speed isless than 15 km/h, the hazard

warning lights start to flash aswell. The hazard warning lightsswitch off automatically as soonas you start to accelerate andvehicle speed reaches 20 km/h.

General instructionsTo find out more about engineer-ing go to:bmw-motorrad.com/techno-logy

Anti-lock brake system(ABS)How does ABS work?The amount of braking force thatcan be transferred to the roaddepends on factors that includethe coefficient of friction of theroad surface. Loose stones, iceand snow or a wet road all havemuch lower coefficients of frictionthan a clean and dry asphalt sur-face. The lower the coefficient offriction, the longer the stoppingdistance.If the rider increases the brakepressure to the extent thatthe brake force exceeds themaximum transferable limit,the wheels start to lock and

the vehicle loses its directionalstability; a fall is imminent.Before this situation can occur,ABS intervenes and adaptsbraking pressure to the maximumtransferable braking force. Thewheels continue to turn andthe driving stability is retainedirrespective of the road condition.

What are the effects ofsurface irregularities?Surface irregularities can causethe wheels to lose contact tem-porarily with the road surface. Ifthis happens the braking forcethat can be transmitted to theroad can drop to zero. If thebrakes are applied under thesecircumstances the ABS has toreduce braking force to ensurethat directional stability is main-tained when the wheels regaincontact with the road surface.At this instant the ABS mustassume an extremely low coef-

ficient of friction, so that thewheels will continue to rotate un-der all imaginable circumstances,because this is the preconditionfor ensuring directional stability.As soon as it registers the actualcircumstances, the system re-acts instantly and adjusts brakingforce accordingly to achieve op-timum braking.

Rear wheel liftUnder very severe andsudden deceleration, however,it is possible that theBMW Motorrad ABS will beunable to prevent the rear wheelfrom lifting clear of the ground.If this happens the outcome canbe a highsiding situation in whichthe motorcycle can flip over.

WARNING

Rear wheel lift due to severebrakingRisk of falling

When you brake sharply, bearin mind that ABS control can-not always be relied on to pre-vent the rear wheel from liftingclear of the ground.

What is the designbaseline forBMW Motorrad ABS?Within the limits imposed byphysics, the BMW Motorrad ABSensures directional stability onany surface.

At speeds above 4 km/h, withinthe limits imposed by physicsthe BMW Motorrad ABS canensure directional stabilityon any surface. Limitationsinherent to the design principlemean that at lower speeds the

BMW Motorrad ABS cannotprovide optimum assistance onall surfaces.

The system is not optimised forspecial requirements that applyunder extreme competitive situ-ations off-road or on the track.

Special situationsThe speeds of the front and rearwheels are compared as onemeans of detecting a wheel'sincipient tendency to lock. Ifthe system registers implaus-ible values for a lengthy periodthe ABS function is deactivatedfor safety reasons and an ABSfault message is issued. Self-dia-gnosis has to complete beforefault messages can be issued.In addition to problems with theBMW Motorrad ABS, exceptionalriding conditions can also causea fault message to be issued:

Riding for a lengthy period withthe front wheel lifted off theground (wheelie).Rear wheel rotating with thevehicle held stationary by ap-plying the front brake (burn-out).Heating up with the motorcycleon the centre stand or an auxil-iary stand, engine idling or witha gear engaged.Rear wheel locked for a lengthyperiod, for example while des-cending off-road.

If a fault message is issued onaccount of exceptional ridingconditions, you can reactivatethe ABS function by switchingthe ignition off and on again.

How important is regularmaintenance?

WARNING

Brake system not regularlyservicedRisk of accident

In order to ensure that theBMW Motorrad ABS is alwaysmaintained in optimum condi-tion, it is essential for you tocomply strictly with the spe-cified inspection intervals.

Safety reservesThe potentially shorter brakingdistances which BMW MotorradABS permits must not be usedas an excuse for careless riding.ABS is primarily a means of en-suring a safety margin in genuineemergencies.

WARNING

Braking when cornering

Risk of accident despite ABSInvariably, the rider bears re-sponsibility for assessing roadand traffic conditions and ad-opting his or her style of ridingaccordingly.Do not take risks that wouldnegate the additional margin ofsafety offered by this system.

Automatic StabilityControl (ASC)How does ASC work?BMW Motorrad ASC comparesthe wheel speeds at the frontand rear wheel. The differential isused to compute slip as a meas-ure of the reserves of stabilityavailable at the rear wheel. If slipexceeds a certain limit, the en-gine management system inter-venes and adapts engine torqueaccordingly.

Special situationsIn accordance with the laws ofphysics, the ability to accelerateis restricted more and more asthe angle of heel increases. Con-sequently, there can be a per-ceptible lag in acceleration out ofvery tight bends.

The speeds of the front andrear wheels are compared asone means of detecting the rearwheel's incipient tendency tospin or slip sideways. If the sys-tem registers implausible valuesfor a lengthy period the ASCfunction is deactivated for safetyreasons and an ASC fault mes-sage is issued. Self-diagnosishas to complete before faultmessages can be issued.BMW Motorrad ASC may auto-matically switch off in the follow-ing, unusual riding conditions.

Exceptional ridingconditions:

Riding on the rear wheel(wheelie) with deactivated ASCfor a prolonged period of timeMoving the rear wheel in acircle while applying the frontwheel brake (burn-out)Heating up with the motorcycleon the centre stand or an auxil-iary stand, engine idling or witha gear engaged

Switch the ignition off and onand subsequently move thevehicle at a speed over 5 km/h toreactivate ASC.

If the front wheel lifts clear of theground under severe accelera-tion, the ASC reduces enginetorque until the front wheel re-gains contact with the ground.Under these circumstances,BMW Motorrad recommendsrolling the throttle slightly closed

so as to restore stability with theleast possible delay.

When riding on a slippery sur-face, never snap the throttletwistgrip fully closed withoutpulling the clutch at the sametime. Engine braking torque cancause the rear wheel to lock, witha corresponding loss of stability.The BMW Motorrad ASC is un-able to control a situation of thisnature.

Slippery roadwayOn very loose surfaces (e.g. sandor snow) ASC control interven-tions may reduce the drivingpower at the rear wheel to anextent where the rear wheel nolonger rotates sufficiently. In thiscase, BMW Motorrad recom-mends to temporarily switch offASC.Please note that the rear wheelwill spin on loose surfaces andremember to release the throttle

grip in due time before reachingfirm surfaces.Then reactivate ASC.
