DTC deactivation
On very loose surfaces (e.g. a
gravel bed at a racetrack) the
control interventions of the DTC
can reduce the drive power at
the rear wheel to such a degree
that the rear wheel no longer
turns sufficiently. In this case,
BMW Motorrad recommends
switching off the DTC temporar-
ily.
Note that the rear wheel will spin
in the loose substrate, and close
the throttle in a timely manner
before reaching a solid substrate.
Turning off the DTC also turns
off the traction control and
wheelie suppression.
Then switch on the DTC again.
