regular servicing?
WARNING
Brake system not regularly
serviced
Risk of accident
In order to ensure that
the BMW Motorrad ABS
is always maintained in
optimum condition, it is
essential for you to comply
strictly with the specified
inspection intervals.

Safety reserves

The potentially shorter
braking distances which
BMW Motorrad ABS permits
must not be used as an
excuse for careless riding. The
system is primarily a means
of ensuring a safety margin in
genuine emergencies.
Take care when cornering!
When you apply the brakes on
a corner, the vehicle's weight
and momentum take over and
even BMW Motorrad ABS is
unable to counteract their ef-
fects.

Evolution of ABS to ABS Pro

Until now, the BMW Motorrad
ABS helped ensure a very high
degree of safety for braking
with the motorcycle upright
and travelling in a straight line.
Now ABS Pro offers enhanced
safety for braking in corners
as well. ABS Pro prevents the
wheels from locking even un-
der sharp braking. ABS Pro re-
duces abrupt changes in steer-
ing force, particularly in panic-
braking situations, counteract-
ing the vehicle's otherwise nat-
ural but undesirable tendency
to straighten up.
