request is implemented much
more directly.
DTC system intervention is even
later, which means that even on
dry asphalt drifting is possible
under sharp acceleration when
cornering.
Switchover
A mode change involving func-
tions in the engine management
system and the DTC system is
possible only when drive torque
is not applied to the rear wheel.
To obtain this state,
the motorcycle must be
stopped with the ignition
switched on,
or
the throttle must be turned
back,
the clutch must be actuated.
First the desired driving mode
is preselected. The switchover
does not take place until the
affected systems are in the re-
quired state.
The selection menu does not
disappear in the display until the
driving mode has been switched
over.
Hill Start Control
Hill Start Control relies on partial
integration of the ABS system
to prevent the motorcycle from
rolling back on hills, making it un-
necessary for the rider to main-
tain constant pressure on the
brake lever when starting on a
slope. When Hill Start Control is
activated, pressure is generated
in the rear brake circuit to ensure
that the motorcycle remains sta-
tionary on a sloping surface. The
brake system's actual holding
pressure varies according to the
inclination angle of the slope.
Brake system with
BMW Motorrad Integral
ABS
Partially integral brake
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a partially integral brake configu-
ration. Both front and rear brakes
are applied simultaneously when
you pull the handbrake lever.
The footbrake lever acts only on
the rear brake.
The BMW Motorrad Integral ABS
adapts the braking force distribu-
tion between the front and rear
wheel brake to the loading of the
motorcycle during braking.
ATTENTION
Spinning of the rear wheel
with the front brake applied
(Burn Out) is prevented by
the integral function.
Damage to rear-wheel brake and
