Brakes
How do you achieve
the shortest stopping
distances?
The dynamic load distribution be-
tween the front and rear wheel
changes during braking. The
heavier you brake, the greater
the weight transfer to the front
wheel. Increases in the load at
an individual wheel are accom-
panied by a rise in the effective
braking force that the wheel can
provide.
To achieve the shortest possible
braking distance, the front brake
must be applied quickly and with
increasing force. This procedure
provides ideal exploitation of the
extra weight transfer to the front
wheel. The clutch should also be
disengaged at the same time.
With the "forced braking" of-
ten practiced in which the brake
pressure is generated as quickly
as possible and with great force,
the dynamic load distribution
cannot follow the increased de-
celeration and the braking force
cannot be completely transferred
to the road surface.
Locking up of the front wheel
is prevented by BMW Motorrad
ABS.
