Riding

ABS pull-away test

ABS warning light flashes

once per second.

The BMW Integral ABS checks

the ABS sensors when you

pull away after starting. The

ABS warning light then goes

out and the BMW Integral ABS

is active.

Running in

• While running in the motor-

cycle, vary the throttle open-

ing and engine-speed range

frequently.

• Try to do most of your riding

during this initial period on

twisting, fairly hilly roads,

avoiding high-speed main

roads and highways if

possible.

Exceeding the specified

engine speeds while run-

ning in will lead to increased

engine wear. Keep to the

guideline values as stated be-

low.c

For the first 1,000 km:

• Engine speed max.

7,000 rpm.

• No full-load acceleration.

• At full load, avoid low engine

speeds.

• The first inspection should

always be performed after

500 to 1,200 km.
