The motorcycle must reach a speed of at least 5 km/h in order for ABS selfdiagnosis to complete. ABS warning light flashes.
Running in Engine Until the first running-in check, vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently; avoid riding at constant engine rpm for prolonged periods. Try to do most of your riding during this initial period on twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoiding high-speed main roads and highways if possible. Comply with the rpm limits for running in. Running-in speed <7000 min-1 Do not omit the first running-in check after 500 - 1200 km.

Descending mountain passes There is a danger of the brakes fading if you use only the rear brakes when descending mountain passes. Under extreme conditions, the brakes could overheat and suffer severe damage. With the BMW integrated brake system, the rear brake is activated when the handbrake lever is pressed. This protects against overheating.Only use the front brake and utilise engine braking. Wet and dirty brakes Wetness and dirt on the brake discs and the brake pads diminish braking efficiency.
6 84 Centre stand with centre stand generation II OA Riding Switch off the engine. z If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guarantee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. Excessive movements could cause the centre stand to retract, and the vehicle would topple in consequence. Do not lean or sit on the vehicle with the centre stand extended. Extend the centre stand and lift the motorcycle onto the stand.
Open the protective cap. Use the ignition key to unlock the fuel filler cap and pop the cap open. The “usable fuel capacity” specified in the technical data is the quantity that the fuel tank could hold if it had been run dry and the engine had cut out due to a lack of fuel. Remove the key and close the protective cap. Securing motorcycle for transportation Make sure that all components that might come into contact with straps used to secure the motorcycle are adequately protected against scratching.
6 Push the motorcycle onto the transportation flat and hold it in position: do not place it on the side stand or centre stand. Feed the strap forwards through the wheel carrier and tighten it downwards. Riding 86 pling; this is best done with the support of a 2nd person. z Risk of damaging components. Take care not to trap components such as brake lines or wires. At the front, place the strap over the frame and route it downwards.

7 88 Brake system with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Engineering details Partially integral brakes z 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. While the brakes are slowing the motorcycle, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts braking-force distribution between front and rear brakes to suit the load on the motorcycle.
What feedback does the rider receive from the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? If the ABS system has to reduce braking force on account of the circumstances described above, vibration is perceptible through the handbrake lever. When the handbrake lever is pulled, brake pressure is also built up at the rear wheel by the integral function.
7 Engineering details 90 z In addition to problems with the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, exceptional riding conditions can lead to a fault message being issued. Exceptional riding conditions: Heating up with the motorcycle on the centre stand or an auxiliary stand, engine idling or with a gear engaged. Rear wheel locked by the engine brake for a lengthy period, for example while descending on a loose surface.
BMW Motorrad ASC is designed as an assistant system for the rider and for use on public roads. The extent to which the rider affects ASC control can be considerable (weight shifts when cornering, items of luggage loose on the motorcycle), especially when the style of riding takes the rider and machine close to the limits imposed by physics. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track.
7 Engineering details 92 z If the front wheel lifts clear of the ground under severe acceleration, ASC reduces engine torque until the front wheel regains contact with the ground. Under these circumstances, BMW Motorrad recommends rolling the throttle slightly closed so as to restore stability with the least possible delay. When riding on a slippery surface, never snap the throttle twistgrip fully closed without pulling the clutch at the same time.
Pressure adaptation 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 at a service station to compensate for the dif- ference 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. You must now increase tyre pressure by the 0.
7 Engineering details 94 z The static normal position is almost maintained even while riding. The different riding conditions and load statuses are compensated, so that the handling of the motorcycle remains constant. It is possible to change the spring rate electronically by combining a conventional coil spring and a plastic element (Elastogran), the lateral expansion of which can be restricted electro-hydraulically using a displaceable sleeve.

The substances in BMW CareProducts have been tested in laboratories and in practice; they provide optimised care and protection for the materials used in your vehicle. BMW Motorrad recommends that you use BMW insect remover to soften and wash off insects and stubborn dirt on painted parts prior to washing the motorcycle.
Body panels Clean the trim panels with water and BMW plastic care emulsion. Windscreens and lenses made of plastic Clean off dirt and insects with a soft sponge and plenty of water. Soften stubborn dirt and insects by covering the affected areas with a wet cloth. 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.
10 136 BMW Motorrad recommends BMW tar remover for removing specks of tar. Remember to wax the parts treated in this way.
