the shift lever while shifting is
in progress. Once the gearshift
has completed the shift lever has
to be fully released before an-
other gearshift with the Pro shift
assistant can take place. When

load state (throttle twistgrip pos-
ition) constant before and during
the gearshift. A change in the

during a gearshift can cause the
function to abort and/or lead to

a missed shift. The Pro shift as-
sistant provides no assistance
for the gearshift if the rider de-
clutches.

Brake system with

BMW Motorrad Integral

ABS

Partially integral brakes
Your motorcycle is equipped with
partially integral brakes. Both
front and rear brakes are applied
when you pull the handbrake
lever. The footbrake lever acts
only on the rear brake.
While the brakes are slowing the
motorcycle with ABS actively in-
tervening, the BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS adapts braking-force
distribution between front and
rear brakes to suit the load on
the motorcycle.
The integral function means
that it is not possible to
make the rear wheel spin with
the front brake applied (Burn
Out). Attempted burn-outs can
result in damage to the rear
brake and the clutch.
Do not attempt Burn Out.
