Riding Mode - BMW F 800 GS Rider's Manual

Warm-up on the center or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
ASC is reactivated by turning the
ignition on and off and then rid-
ing at a speed above 5 km/h.
If the front wheel loses contact
with the ground under extreme
acceleration, the ASC reduces
the engine torque, maintain-
ing the reduction until the front
wheel makes contact with the
ground again.
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you respond to this condi-
tion by twisting back the throttle
grip somewhat to return to stable
dynamic operating conditions as
quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the throt-
tle grip should never be suddenly
twisted back completely unless
the clutch is disengaged at the
same time. The engine's brak-
ing torque could cause the rear
wheel to lock, resulting in un-
stable motorcycle conditions.
BMW Motorrad ASC is unable to
intervene effectively under these
conditions.

Riding mode

Selection
In order to adjust the motorcy-
cle to the road condition, one of
4 riding modes can be selected:
RAIN
ROAD (standard mode)
with Pro riding modes
ENDURO
ENDURO+ (with coding plug
installed only)
For each of the 4 riding modes,
adapted settings for the ABS and
ASC systems and for the throttle
response are available.
In every mode, ABS and/or ASC
can be turned off. The following
explanations refer to the systems
that are switched on.
Throttle response
In the RAIN and ENDURO rid-
ing modes: the response be-
havior of the engine is reticent.
In the ROAD and ENDURO+
riding modes: the response
behavior of the engine is opti-
mum and direct.
ABS
In the RAIN and ROAD riding
OE
modes, the ABS is matched
to the road conditions and the
use of road tires. Intervention
of the ABS occurs at such
an early stage that maximum
ride stability (i.e. roadholding)
is achieved. This also applies
to lift-off detection for the rear
wheel.
