Make sure that all the warning
and telltale lights come on in
the pre-ride check.
After completion of ASC self-
diagnosis, an indicator showing
an ASC fault is displayed:
You can continue to ride. Bear
in mind that the ASC function
is not available.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Running in
Engine
Until the first running-in check,
vary the throttle opening and
engine-speed range frequently;
avoid riding at constant engine
rpm for prolonged periods.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads.
Comply with the rpm limits for
running in.
Running-in speeds
<5000 min
-1
(Odometer read-
ing 0...1000 km)
No full throttle (Odometer
reading 0...1000 km)
Note the mileage after which
the running-in check should be
carried out.
Mileage until the
running-in check
500...1200 km
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed
down before they can achieve
their optimum friction levels. You
can compensate for this initial re-
duction in braking efficiency by
exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
New brake pads can extend
stopping distance by a sig-
nificant margin.
Apply the brakes in good time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in pro-
cedure is essential if the tyres are
to achieve maximum grip.
New tyres do not provide
full grip straight away. Wet
roads and extremely sharp in-
clines pose a risk of accident.
Ride carefully and avoid
extremely sharp inclines.
