Residual braking function

When the ignition is switched
off, before and during self-
diagnosis (
b 68), or if the
BMW Integral ABS fails, only a
RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNC-
TION (
b 67) remains available
for slowing the motorcycle.
When the RESIDUAL BRAK-
ING FUNCTION is active, you
must apply CONSIDERABLY
higher pressure to the brake
levers in question in order to
apply the brakes, and lever
travel is longer.
When the RESIDUAL BRAK-
ING FUNCTION is active, the
ABS function is unavailable in
the brake systems in
question.

When the RESIDUAL BRAK-
ING FUNCTION is active,
maintain a defensive riding
style and proceed immediate-
ly to the nearest specialist
workshop, preferably an au-
thorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer.

When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, it is advis-
able to set adjuster A (
b 25) on
the front-brake lever to position 4.
