unusual driving conditions can
also lead to a fault message.
Unusual driving conditions:
Heating up on the main or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
Rear wheel locked-up for a
longer period of time by en-
gine brake, e.g. when riding
downhill on slippery surfaces.
Should a fault message result
due to one of the driving condi-
tions described above, the ABS
function can be reactivated by
switching the ignition off and
then on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is al-
ways only as good as its
maintenance condition.
To ensure that the BMW Motor-
rad Integral ABS is in an opti-
mally maintained condition, it is
vital that the specified inspection
intervals be complied with.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS per-
mits must not be used as an ex-
cuse for careless riding. ABS is
primarily a means of ensuring a
safety margin in genuine emer-

Take care when cornering. When
you apply the brakes on a cor-
ner, the motorcycle's weight and
momentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is
unable to counteract their effects.

How does ASC work?
The BMW Motorrad ASC com-
pares the wheel speeds of the
front and rear wheel. From the
speed difference the slip, and
with it the stability reserves on
the rear wheel are determined.
When a slip limit is exceeded, the
engine torque is adapted by the
engine management system.
