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 lock, with
a corresponding loss of stability.
The BMW Motorrad ASC is un-
able to control a situation of this
nature.
Riding mode
Selection
There is a choice of 5 riding
modes for adapting the motor-
cycle to riding-surface condition:
RAIN
ROAD (Standard mode)
with Pro riding modes
DYNAMIC
Enduro
Enduro Pro (only if coding plug
fitted)
For each of the 5 riding modes
there is a matching setting for
the ABS and ASC systems and
for throttle response.
with Dynamic ESA
The adjustment of the Dynamic
ESA also depends on the riding
mode selected.
ABS and/or ASC can be
switched off in each riding mode;
the explanations below invariably
apply to the behaviour of the
motorcycle with these systems
active.
Throttle response
In the RAIN and Enduro riding
modes: Restrained
OE
In the ROAD and Enduro Pro
riding modes: Direct
In the DYNAMIC riding mode:
Dynamic
ABS
The rear wheel lift assistant is
active in all riding modes.
In the RAIN, ROAD and DY-
NAMIC riding modes, the ABS
OE
is set up for road riding.
In Enduro riding mode the ABS
is set to off-road mode with
road tyres.
In the Enduro Pro riding mode,
there will be no ABS control at
the rear wheel when the foot-
brake lever is operated. The
ABS has been adjusted to off-
road operation using studded
tyres.
with ABS Pro
In the RAIN and ROAD riding
modes, ABS Pro is fully avail-
able. The tendency of the mo-
torcycle to straighten up when
the brakes are applied with the
machine banked for cornering
is reduced to a minimum.
