Engine Management With Bmw Motorrad Asc - BMW K 1300 S Rider's Manual

Should a fault code result due to
one of the driving conditions de-
scribed above, the ABS function
can be reactivated by switching
the ignition off and then on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is al-
ways only as good as its
maintenance condition.
To ensure that the
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS
is in an optimally maintained
condition, it is vital that the
specified inspection intervals be
complied with.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad Integral 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.
Be careful in curves! When you
apply the brakes on a corner,
the motorcycle's weight and
momentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is
unable to counteract their effects.
Engine management

ASC
with automatic Stability Con-
OE
trol
How does ASC work?
The BMW Motorrad ASC 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.
What are the design
characteristics of the
BMW Motorrad ASC?
The BMW Motorrad ASC is an
assistance system for the rider
and is designed for driving on
public roads. Especially in at the
limits of driving physics, the rider
has a considerable influence on
the control options of the ASC
(shifting weight in curves, loose
loads).
The system is not optimized for
special requirements resulting
under extreme weather condi-
tions off-road or on the racetrack.
The BMW Motorrad ASC can be
deactivated for these cases.
Even with ASC, the laws of
physics cannot be overrid-
den. The rider is always respon-
sible for adapting his/her driving
style.
