Riding Mode - BMW S 1000 RR Rider's Manual

Exceptional riding
conditions:
Riding for a lengthy period with
the front wheel lifted off the
ground (wheelie).
Rear wheel rotating with the
vehicle held stationary by ap-
plying the front brake (burn-
out).
Heating up with the motorcycle
on an auxiliary stand, in neutral
or with a gear engaged.
If the coding plug for the
SLICK USER
and riding
modes is not inserted,
accelerating the motorcycle to
a defined minimum speed after
switching the ignition off and
then on again reactivates the
DTC.
Minimum speed for ac-
tivation of DTC
min 10 km/h
If the front wheel lifts clear of the
ground under severe accelera-
tion, the ASC or DTC reduces
RAIN
engine torque in the
SPORT
riding modes until the
front wheel regains contact with
the ground.
Wheelie assistance is deactivated
SLICK
in the

riding mode.

Under these circumstances,
BMW Motorrad recommends
rolling the throttle slightly closed
so as to restore stability with the
least possible delay.
When riding on a slippery sur-
face, never snap the throttle
twistgrip fully closed without
pulling the clutch at the same
time. Engine braking torque can
cause the rear wheel to skid, with
a corresponding loss of stability.
The BMW Motorrad DTC is un-
able to control a situation of this
nature.
