Handling your motorcycle
safely
Each motorcycle has a charac-
ter all its own. It is time now for
you to familiarize yourself with
the way your own motorcycle
behaves:
– Acceleration
– Roadholding
– Cornering
– Braking …
These are all things you need to
become familiar with.
Please remember too that if the
motorcycle has not yet covered
approx. 600 miles
(1,000 kilometers), the engine
is not yet fully run in.
BMW Integral ABS incorpo-
rates a brake booster, so brak-
ing efficiency is significantly
higher than with conventional
brake systems.
The tires need to cover a cer-
tain distance
before they acquire their full
road grip (b 51).
When riding at high speed,
always bear in mind that various
boundary conditions such as:
settings of the spring and
shock-absorber system, unbal-
anced loading, loose clothing,
low tire pressures, worn tires,
etc., can affect the handling of
your motorcycle.
