the ground is also deactivated.
When this mode is selected the
100
controller of the DTC system
assumes that the motorcycle is
running on racing tyres with max-
imum grip (slicks). Long wheelies
are possible and the same ap-
plies to wheelies at slight angles
of heel, and it is important to
bear in mind that under these
circumstances it is also possible
that the motorcycle might flip
over backwards!
Mode changes
A mode change involves func-
z
tions in the engine management
system, the ABS and the DTC
and is possible only in certain op-
erating states:
No drive torque at the rear
wheel
No brake pressure in the brake
system
In order to achieve this state,
the motorcycle must be at
a standstill with the ignition
switched on,
or
the throttle twistgrip must be in
the fully closed position,
the brake levers must be in the
released positions,
the clutch lever must be pulled
and the clutch disengaged.
The desired ride mode is initially
preselected. The mode change
does not take place until the sys-
tems in question are all in the
appropriate state.
The selection menu does not
disappear from the display un-
til the mode change has taken
place.

BMW Motorrad Race
ABS
Partially integral brakes
Your motorcycle is equipped with
partially integral brakes. Both
front and rear brakes are applied
when you pull the handbrake
lever. The footbrake lever acts
only on the rear brake.
The integral braking func-
tion makes it very difficult
to spin the rear wheel by opening
the throttle with the front brake
applied to keep the motorcycle
stationary (burn-out). Attempted
burn-outs can result in damage
to the rear brake and the clutch.
Deactivate the ABS function if
you are going to attempt a burn-
out.
