Hill Start Control
with Hill Start Control
OE
Hill Start Control is a pullaway
assistant that operates on the
partially integrated ABS system
to prevent the vehicle from rolling
back on a gradient without the
rider having to keep pressure ap-
plied to the brake lever. When
Hill Start Control is activated
pressure is built up in the rear
brake system to keep the ma-
chine at a standstill on a gradient.
The holding pressure built up in
the brake system depends on
the steepness of the gradient.
BMW Motorrad Integral
ABS
Partially integral brakes
Your motorcycle is equipped with
partially integral brakes. Both
front and rear brakes are applied
when you pull the handbrake
lever. The footbrake lever acts
only on the rear brake.
When actively intervening in the
braking process, BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS adapts braking-force
distribution between front and
rear brakes to suit the load on
the motorcycle ABS.
ATTENTION
The integral function means
that it is not possible to
make the rear wheel spin
with the front brake applied
(Burn Out).
Damage to rear brake and clutch.
Do not attempt Burn Out.
