6 76 Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS with BMW Motorrad ABS OE Engineering details How does ABS work? z The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors hat include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean, dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance.
Within the limits imposed by physics, BMW Motorrad ABS ensures directional stability on any surface. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track. Special situations The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared as one means of detecting a wheel's incipient tendency to lock.
6 78 momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to counteract their effects. Engineering details Tyre pressure monitoring RDC z with tyre pressure monitoring (RDC) OE Function A sensor integrated into each tyre measures the air temperature and the air pressure inside the tyre and transmits this information to the control unit. Each sensor has a centrifugalforce tripswitch that does not enable transmission of the measured values until the motorcycle has accelerated to about 30 km/ h.
A warning is also issued if tyre pressure drops sharply but stays within the permitted tolerance. 6 79 Compare the RDC readings on the multifunction display with the value in the table on the inside cover of the Rider's Manual. Then use the air line to compensate for the difference between the RDC reading and the value in the table. Example: According to the Rider's Manual, tyre pressure should be 2.5 bar, but the reading in the multifunction display is 2.3 bar. The gauge on the air line shows 2.4 bar.

9 Care 124 z Care products BMW Motorrad recommends that you use the cleaning and care products you can obtain from your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. The substances in BMW Care Products have been tested in laboratories and in practice; they provide optimised care and protection for the materials used in your vehicle. The use of unsuitable cleaning and care products can damage vehicle components.
Soften stubborn dirt and insects by covering the affected areas with a wet cloth. Windscreen Clean off dirt and insects with a soft sponge and plenty of water. Fuel and chemical solvents attack the material of the windscreen; the windscreen becomes opaque or dull. Do not use cleaning agents. Chrome Use plenty of water and BMW shampoo to clean chrome, particularly if it has been exposed to road salt. Use chrome polish for additional treatment.
9 Care 126 z Remove stains of this kind immediately, using cleaning-grade benzene or petroleum spirit on a clean cloth or ball of cotton wool. BMW Motorrad recommends BMW tar remover for removing specks of tar. Remember to wax the parts treated in this way. Protective wax coating BMW Motorrad recommends applying only BMW car wax or products containing carnauba wax or synthetic wax. It is time to rewax the paintwork when water "puddles" on the surface, instead of forming beads.
