How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is al-
ways only as good as its
maintenance condition.
To ensure that the
BMW Motorrad Race ABS
is in an optimally maintained
condition, it is vital that the
specified inspection intervals be
complied with.
Reserves for safety
z
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad Race ABS per-
mits must not be used as an ex-
cuse for careless riding. ABS is
primarily a means of ensuring a
safety margin in genuine emer-
gencies.
Be careful in curves! When you
apply the brakes in a curve, the
motorcycle's weight and mo-
mentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad Race ABS is un-
able to counteract their effects.

How does DTC work?
The BMW Motorrad DTC com-
pares the wheel speeds of the
front and rear wheel. From the
speed difference the slip, and
with it the stability reserves on
the rear wheel are determined.
When a slip limit is exceeded, the
engine torque is adapted by the
engine management system.
Even with DTC, the laws of
physics cannot be overrid-
den. The driver is always respon-
sible for adapting his/her driving
style.
Do not reduce the additional
safety provided with risky
driving.
Special situations
As lean angles increase, accel-
eration potential is also progres-
sively restricted by the laws of
physics. This can result in re-
OE
duced acceleration when coming
out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the
speeds of the front and rear
wheel are compared and the
angle is considered, for example.
If these values are detected to
be implausible for a long period,
a replacement value is used for
the angle and the DTC function
is deactivated. In these cases,
a DTC error is displayed. The
