TECHNOLOGY IN DETAIL
The ENDURO riding mode
should be activated for off-road
riding. In this mode, the adjust-
ing intervention by the DTC is
performed later, enabling con-
trolled drifting.
The system is not optimized
for the special requirements
encountered under the extreme
conditions of competitive off-
road and racetrack use. The
BMW Motorrad DTC can be
switched off in such instances.
WARNING
Risky riding style
Risk of accident despite DTC
The rider is always respon-
sible for adapting his/her
driving style.
Do not reduce the system's
extra safety margin with
careless riding or unneces-
sary risks.
Special situations
As the angle of inclination in-
creases, the capacity to accel-
erate is more and more limited
in accordance with the laws of
physics. This can result in re-
duced acceleration when com-
ing out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the ro-
tational speeds of the front and
rear wheel are compared and
the angle is considered, for ex-
ample.
If the values for the lean angle
are detected to be implausi-
ble for a long period, a substi-
tute value is used for the angle,
or the DTC function is turned
off. In these cases, a DTC fault
is displayed. A self-diagnosis
must be completed before the
fault message can be displayed.
Under the following un-
usual riding conditions,
BMW Motorrad Traction
Control may be deactivated
automatically.
Unusual riding conditions:
Riding on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for an extended
period.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front wheel brake en-
gaged (burn out).
Warming up the engine on an
auxiliary stand in neutral or
with gear engaged.
