The brake-lever travel
5
needed to build up brak-
ing pressure can be consider-
76
ably longer when the system
is in residual braking function
mode, so BMW Motorrad re-
commends setting the brake
lever to a wider span.
When the residual brak-
ing function is active for
z
both brake circuits, the noise
of the pump is no longer aud-
ible when you operate the
brake levers.
Deactivatable ABS
Under certain circumstances,
it can be best to dispense
with ABS when you
right on loose surfaces.
Consequently, you have
the option of temporarily
deactivating this motorcycle's
ABS function.
Deactivating ABS does not
impair the effectiveness of the
brake booster or the integral
braking function.
