Brake system - with BMW Integral ABS
It meets all requirements of legis-
lation around the world on the
design of brakes for motor
vehicles and allows the rider to
brake the motorcycle.
The following notes must be
observed for riding with the
residual braking function:
• set the brake lever to maximum
travel
• always brake with both front and
rear brakes
• where it is safe to do so, try out
the brakes so that you can learn
the brakes' response character-
istics
• be aware of the prevailing road
conditions and adapt your
braking force accordingly
• since this is an emergency-run
function, you should visit a
specialist workshop, or better
still a BMW Motorrad dealer, as
quickly as possible.
What is the role of regular
maintenance?
e Attention:
Any technical system is only ever
as good as its maintenance.
The service intervals specified
must be kept to without fail to
ensure that the BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS is in an optimum
maintenance condition.
