How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is al-
ways only as good as its
maintenance condition.
To ensure that the BMW Motor-
rad Race ABS is in an optimally
maintained condition, it is vital
that the specified inspection in-
tervals be complied with.
Reserves for safety
z
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad Race ABS per-
mits must not be used as an ex-
cuse for careless riding. ABS is
primarily a means of ensuring a
safety margin in genuine emer-
gencies.
Take care when cornering. When
you apply the brakes on a cor-
ner, the motorcycle's weight and
momentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad Race ABS is un-
able to counteract their effects.

How does DTC work?
The BMW Motorrad DTC com-
pares 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.
Even with DTC, the laws of
physics cannot be overrid-
den. The driver is always respon-
sible for adapting his/her driving
style.
Do not reduce the additional
safety provided with risky
driving.
Special situations
At an increasing angle, the accel-
eration performance is increas-
ingly limited in accordance with
physical laws. This can result in
reduced acceleration when com-
ing out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the
speeds of the front and rear
wheel are compared and the
angle is considered, for example.
If these values are detected to
be implausible for a long period,
a replacement value is used for
the angle and the DTC function
