Engine Management With Bmw Motorrad Asc Oe; Bmw Motorrad Asc - BMW K 1200 GT Rider's Manual

Should a fault message result
due to one of the driving con-
ditions described above, the
ABS function can be reacti-
vated by switching the ignition
off and then on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is
always only as good as
its maintenance condition.
To ensure that the BMW Mo-
torrad Integral ABS is in an
optimally maintained condi-
tion, it is vital that the spec-
ified inspection intervals be
complied with.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potential-
ly shorter braking distances
which BMW Motorrad Inte-
gral ABS permits must not be
used as an excuse for care-
less riding. ABS is primarily
a means of ensuring a safety
margin in genuine emergen-
cies.
Take care when cornering.
When you apply the brakes
on a corner, the motorcycle's
weight and momentum take
over and even BMW Motor-
rad Integral ABS is unable to
counteract their effects.

ASC
How does BMW
Motorrad ASC work?
The BMW Motorrad ASC
compares the wheel speeds
of the front and rear wheel.
From the speed difference the
slip, and with it the stability
reserves on the rear wheel
are determined. When a slip
limit is exceeded, the engine
torque is adapted by the
engine management system.
What are the design
characteristics of the

BMW Motorrad ASC?

The BMW Motorrad ASC is
an assistance system for the
driver and is designed for
driving on public roads. Es-
pecially in at the limits of driv-
ing physics, the driver has a
considerable influence on the
control options of the ASC
(shifting weight in curves,
loose loads). The system is
not optimized for special re-
quirements resulting under
extreme weather conditions
offroad or on the racetrack.
The BMW Motorrad ASC can
be deactivated for these cas-
es.
