Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake engaged (burn
out).
Warm-up on the center or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
The ASC is reactivated by
switching the ignition on and off
and then riding at a speed above
3 mph (5 km/h).
If the front wheel loses contact
to the ground during extreme
acceleration, the ASC reduces
the engine torque until the front
wheel touches the ground again.
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you respond to this condi-
tion by twisting back the throttle
grip somewhat to return to stable
dynamic operating conditions as
quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the
throttle grip must never be
suddenly turned back completely
without pulling the clutch at
the same time. The engine's
braking torque could cause the
rear wheel to lock, resulting in
unstable motorcycle conditions.
This case cannot be controlled
by BMW Motorrad ASC.
Tire Pressure Control
(TPC) RDC
with Tire Pressure Control
OE
(TPC/RDC)
Operation
A sensor located in each tire
monitors the air temperature and
the inflation pressure inside the
tire and transmits this information
to the control unit.
The sensors are equipped with
a centrifugal controller that
suppresses transmission of the
monitored data until a speed of
approx. 18 mph (30 km/h) is
reached. The display shows "
-
" for each tire until the tire-
pressure signal is received for the
first time. The sensors continue
to transmit the measured values
for approx. 15 minutes after the
motorcycle comes to a stop.
If a RDC control unit is installed
without the wheels being
equipped with sensors, a fault
code is output.
Temperature
compensation
The tire inflation pressure is tem-
perature dependent, i.e. it in-
creases or decreases together
with the tire air temperature. The
tire air temperature is dependent
