User Manual

In addition to problems with the
BMW Motorrad Race ABS, ex-
ceptional riding conditions can
lead to a fault message being is-
sued.
Exceptional riding
conditions:
Heating up with the motorcycle
on an auxiliary stand, in neutral
or with a gear engaged.
Rear wheel locked by the en-
gine brake for a lengthy period,
for example while descending
steep gradients.
If a fault message is issued on
account of exceptional riding
conditions, you can reactivate
the ABS function by switching
the ignition off and on again.
What is the role of regular
servicing?
WARNING
Brake system not regularly
serviced.
Risk of accident
In order to ensure that the
BMW Motorrad Race ABS is
always maintained in optimum
condition, it is essential for you
to comply strictly with the spe-
cified inspection intervals.
Safety reserves
The potentially shorter braking
distances which ABS permits
must not be used as an excuse
for careless riding. It is primarily
there to provide a safety reserve
for emergency situations.
WARNING
Braking when cornering
Risk of accident despite ABS
Invariably, the rider bears re-
sponsibility for assessing road
and traffic conditions and ad-
opting his or her style of riding
accordingly.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional margin of
safety offered by this system.
ABS Pro
ABS Pro increases safety,
particularly when braking in
bends. ABS Pro prevents the
wheels from locking up, even
when the brakes are sharply
actuated. ABS Pro reduces
abrupt changes in steering force,
particularly in shock braking, and
thus prevents an undesirable
lifting up of the vehicle.
ABS intervention
Technically speaking, depending
on the riding situation ABS Pro
adapts ABS intervention to the
motorcycle's bank angle. Signals
