ENERGY RECOVERY STABIL-
ITY CONTROL (RSC)
How does the energy
recovery stability control
work?
The purpose of the energy re-
covery stability control is to
safely prevent unstable riding
conditions that are related to
excess energy recovery torque
at the rear wheel. Depending
on the road condition and rid-
ing dynamics, excess energy
recovery torque can make the
slip at the rear wheel increase
severely and impede riding sta-
bility. The energy recovery sta-
bility control limits excess slip
at the rear wheel to a safe tar-
get slip dependent on the rid-
ing mode.
Causes of excess slip at the
rear wheel:
Riding in energy recovery op-
eration on road with low co-
efficient of friction (e.g. wet
leaves).
Hard brake onset in sporty
riding style.
Like the BMW Motorrad DTC
traction control, the energy re-
covery stability control com-
pares the wheel centrifugal
velocity of the front and rear
wheel, which are calculated
from the wheel RPM and the
tire radius. The energy recov-
ery stability control can deter-
mine the slip, and therefore the
stability reserve, on the rear
wheel using the speed differ-
ence.
If the slip exceeds the respec-
tive limit value, the energy re-
covery torque is reduced. The
slip is reduced, and the vehicle
is stabilized.
Effect of the energy recovery
stability control
In ECO, RAIN and ROAD rid-
ing modes: Maximum stabil-
ity.
