is switched off. Under these
circumstances the indicator
for a DTC fault shows. Self-
diagnosis has to complete
before fault messages can be
issued.
The BMW Motorrad Traction
Control can shut down auto-
matically under the exceptional
riding conditions outlined be-
low.
Exceptional riding conditions:
Riding for a lengthy period
with the front wheel lifted off
the ground (wheelie).
Rear wheel rotating with the
vehicle held stationary by ap-
plication of the front brake
(burn-out).
Heating up with the motor-
cycle on an auxiliary stand,
in neutral or with a gear en-
gaged.
Minimum speed for ac-
tivation of DTC
min 5 km/h
If the front wheel lifts clear of
the ground under severe ac-
celeration, the ASC or DTC
reduces engine torque in the
and
RAIN ROAD
until the front wheel regains
contact with the ground.
In the DTC settings
and
DYNAMIC PRO
riding modes
DYNAMIC
, front wheel
lift-off detection allows short
wheelies.
In RAIN, ROAD and DYNAMIC
riding modes, the DTC set-
ting corresponds to the riding
mode.
In DYNAMIC PRO riding mode,
DTC can be set up differently
( 82).
BMW Motorrad recommends
turning the throttle grip back
slightly when lifting the front
wheel in order to reach a stable
driving condition again as soon
as possible.
When riding on a slippery
surface, never snap the throttle
twistgrip fully closed without
pulling the clutch at the same
time. Engine braking torque
can cause the rear wheel to
skid, with a corresponding loss
of stability. The BMW Motorrad
DTC is unable to control a
situation of this nature. With
dynamic engine brake control,
this loss of stability can be
prevented.
