Special situations
7
To detect the tendency of the
wheels to lock up, the speeds
88
of the front and rear wheel are
compared. If implausible values
are detected over a longer period
of time, the ABS function is de-
activated for safety reasons and
an ABS error is indicated. The
condition for a fault code is the
completed self-diagnosis.
In addition to problems on the
BMW Motorrad ABS, unusual
driving conditions can also lead
to a fault message.
Unusual driving conditions:
Driving on the rear wheel
z
(wheelie) for a longer period.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake pulled (burn
out).
Heating up on the main or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
Locked-up rear wheel for a
longer period of time, e.g.
when riding downhill offroad.
Should a fault code occur due to
one of the driving conditions de-
scribed above, the ABS function
can be reactivated by switching
the ignition off and then on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
WARNING
Failure to have maintenance
performed on the brake sys-
tem regularly.
Accident hazard
To ensure that the
BMW Motorrad ABS is in a
properly maintained condition,
it is vital that the specified
service intervals are kept to.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad ABS permits
must not be used as an excuse
for careless riding. ABS is pri-
marily a means of ensuring a
safety margin in genuine emer-
gencies.
Be careful in curves! When you
apply the brakes on a corner,
the motorcycle's weight and
momentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to
counteract their effects.
