ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)
Partially integral brake
Your motorcycle is equipped
with a partially integral brake
configuration. In this brake sys-
tem, both front and rear wheel
brakes are applied simultane-
ously when you pull the brake
lever. The footbrake lever acts
only on the rear wheel brake.
The BMW Motorrad partial in-
tegral ABS adapts the brake
force distribution between the
front and rear wheel brakes
during braking by means of
ABS control to suit the load
carried by the motorcycle in
order to achieve the shortest
possible braking distance.
ATTENTION
Attempt at a Burn-out de-
spite integral function
Damage to rear wheel brake
and clutch
A Burn-out may occur only
when the vehicle starts from
a standstill. A Burn-out is
not within the scope of the
vehicle's intended use and
can therefore result in fault
memory entries.
How does ABS work?
The maximum braking force
that can be transferred to the
road is partially dependent on
the coefficient of friction of the
road surface. Gravel, ice, snow
and wet roads offer a consider-
ably lower coefficient of friction
than a dry, clean asphalt sur-
face. The lower the coefficient
of friction of the road is, the
longer the braking distance will
be.
If the maximum transferable
braking force is exceeded
when the rider increases the
brake pressure, the wheels
begin to lock and riding
stability is lost, and a fall can
result. Before this situation
occurs, ABS is activated and
the brake pressure is adjusted
