cycle has to reach a defined
minimum speed with the en-
gine running for the wheel-
speed sensors to be checked:

in mind that the DTC function
is not available or the function-
ality might be subject to certain

specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads.
Comply with the rpm limits for
