BMW R 1200RS 2016 Rider's Manual page 104

Apart from problems with the
7
BMW Motorrad ABS, unusual
riding conditions can also cause
102
a fault message to be generated:
Warm-up on the center or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
Rear wheel locked-up for a
longer period of time by en-
gine brake, e.g. when riding
downhill on slippery surfaces.
Should a fault code occur due to
an unusual driving condition, the
ABS function can be reactivated
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 ABS is in
a properly maintained condi-
tion, it is vital that the specified
service intervals be observed.
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.
Further development of
ABS to ABS Pro
OE
with ABS Pro
In the past, the BMW Motorrad
ABS system provided for a very
high level of safety while brak-
ing during straight-ahead rid-
ing. Now ABS Pro also offers
increased safety even when brak-
ing in curves. ABS Pro prevents
locking-up of the wheels even
in case of rapid brake actuation.
ABS Pro reduces abrupt changes
in steering forces, especially dur-
ing panic braking, and therefore
decreases the risk of unwanted
wheelies occurring.
ABS control
From a technical standpoint,
ABS Pro adjusts the ABS con-
trol to the angle of inclination of
the motorcycle in dependence
on the respective riding situation.
