ABS self-diagnosis
BMW Motorrad ABS performs
self-diagnosis to ensure its op-
erability. Self-diagnosis is per-
formed automatically when you
switch on the ignition. The Maxi-
Scooter has to move forward a
few metres for the wheel sensors
to be tested.
Phase 1
Test of the diagnosis-compat-
ible system components with
the vehicle at a standstill.
ABS warning light flashes.
Phase 2
Test of the wheel sensors as
the vehicle pulls away from
rest.
ABS warning light flashes.

gnosis completes:
You can continue to ride. Bear
in mind that the ABS function
is not available.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

Riding

At engine speeds below pullaway
rpm (approx. 2000 rpm) the
centrifugal clutch remains
disengaged, the Maxi-Scooter is
in neutral. When engine speed
increases past pullaway rpm the
clutch engages and the Maxi-
Scooter moves off.
At speeds from approx. 50 km/h
to approx. 110 km/h the engine
is running at constant speed and
operating in its maximum torque
band. Road speed is varied by
the change in transmission ratio
in the continuously variable trans-
mission. Consequently, engine
noise changes only slightly within
this speed range.
Engine speed does not increase
unless the vehicle is brought up
a speed higher than approx. 110
km/h.

Running in
