Riding Mode - BMW F 850 GS Adventure Manual

When riding on a slippery sur-
face, 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 un-
able to control a situation of this
nature.

there is a matching setting for
the ABS, ASC⁄DTC systems and
for throttle response.

tems that are switched on.

ing with road tyres.
