Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period
with ASC deactivated.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake engaged (burn
out).
Heating up on the main or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
ASC is reactivated by switching
the ignition on and off and then
driving at a speed above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
If the front wheel loses contact
to the ground during extreme
acceleration, the ASC reduces
the engine torque until the front
wheel touches the ground again.
In this case, BMW Motorrad rec-
ommends turning back the throt-
tle grip somewhat to achieve
a stable driving state again as
quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the throttle
grip must never be suddenly
turned back completely without
pulling the clutch at the same
time. The engine braking torque
can cause the rear wheel to
block, resulting in an unstable
driving state. This case cannot
be controlled by BMW Motorrad
ASC.

Tire pressure control

(RDC)

with Tire Pressure Control
OE
(TPC/RDC)
Operation
A sensor located in each tire
monitors the air temperature and
the inflation pressure inside the
tire and transmits this information
to the control unit.
The sensors are equipped with
a centrifugal controller, which
does not enable the transmis-
sion of the measured values
until a speed of approx. 18.5
mph (30 km/h) is reached. The
--
display shows "
" for each
tire until the tire-pressure sig-
nal is received for the first time.
The sensors continue to transmit
the measured values for approx.
15 minutes after the motorcycle
comes to a stop.
Tire inflation pressure
ranges
The RDC control unit distin-
guishes between three inflation
pressure ranges matched to the
motorcycle:
Inflation pressure within the
permissible tolerance
Inflation pressure at the limits
of the permissible tolerance
Inflation pressure outside the
permissible tolerance
