BMW S 1000RR Rider's Manual page 158

Apart from problems on the
9
BMW Motorrad Race ABS,
unusual riding conditions can
156
also cause a fault message to be
generated.
Unusual riding conditions:
Heating up on an auxiliary
stand at idle speed or with gear
engaged.
Rear wheel locked-up for a
longer period of time by engine
brake, e.g. when riding down
steep hills.
Should a fault code occur due to
an unusual driving condition, the
ABS function can be reactivated
z 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 Race 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
ABS permits must not be used
as an excuse for careless riding.
ABS is primarily a means of en-
suring a safety margin in genuine
emergencies.
WARNING
Braking in curves
Risk of accident despite ABS
The rider is always responsi-
ble for adapting his/her driving
style.
Do not reduce the additional
safety function with careless
riding or unnecessary risks.
ABS Pro
ABS Pro increases safety, in par-
ticular when braking in corners.
ABS Pro stops the wheels lock-
ing up, even if the brakes are
actuated quickly. ABS Pro re-
duces abrupt changes in steering
forces, especially during shock
braking, and therefore decreases
the risk of an undesirable "rearing
up" of the vehicle.
