Parking Your Motorcycle - BMW R 1250 GS Adventure Rider's Manual

150 RIDING
trol are available in all riding
modes except ENDURO PRO.
Possibility of a fall not
precluded
Although ABS Pro and Dynamic
Brake Control provide the rider
with valuable assistance and
constitute a huge advance in
safety for braking with the mo-
torcycle banked for cornering,
they cannot under any circum-
stances be considered as re-
defining the physical limits that
apply to motorcycling. It is still
possible for these limits to be
overshot due to misjudgement
or rider error. In extreme cases
this can result in a crash.
Use on public roads
ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake
Control help make the mo-
torcycle even safer for riding
on public roads. When the
brakes are applied because of
an unforeseen hazard when
the motorcycle is banked for
cornering, within the physical
limits that apply to motorcyc-
ling the system prevents the
wheels from locking and skid-
ding away. In emergency brak-
ing, Dynamic Brake Control in-
creases the braking effect and
intervenes if the throttle grip is
accidentally turned during brak-
ing.
ABS Pro was not
developed to enhance
individual braking performance
with the motorcycle banked
into corners.
