New tyres have a smooth surface. This must be roughened by riding in a restrained manner at various heel angles until the tyres are run in. This running in procedure is essential if the tyres are to achieve maximum grip. Tyres do not have their full grip when new and there is a risk of accidents at extreme angles of heel. Avoid extreme angles of heel.

Ride mode 88 Three riding modes enable the motorcycle's characteristics to adapt to the prevailing weather conditions, the road and traffic, and the rider's style of riding: RAIN ROAD DYNAMIC Engineering details 6 z Selection Each of these modes produces perceptible differences in the way the motorcycle behaves. DTC can be switched off in each mode; the explanations below invariably refer to conditions with the system switched ON.
Mode changes A mode change involving functions in the engine management system and the DTC system is possible only when drive torque is not applied to the rear wheel. 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 clutch lever must be pulled and the clutch disengaged. The desired ride mode is initially preselected.
6 Engineering details 90 z ing force exceeds the maximum transferrable limit, the wheels start to lock and the motorcycle loses its directional stability; a fall is imminent. Before this situation can occur, ABS intervenes and adapts braking pressure to the maximum transferrable braking force, so the wheels continue to turn and directional stability is maintained irrespective of the condition of the road surface.
The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared as one means of detecting a wheel's incipient tendency to lock. If If a fault message is issued on account of exceptional riding conditions as outlined above, you What is the design baseline for BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? Within the limits imposed by physics, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS ensures directional stability on any surface.
6 Engineering details 92 z Take care when cornering. When you apply the brakes on a corner, the motorcycle's weight and momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is unable to counteract their effects. Electronic engine management with BMW Motorrad DTC with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) OE How does DTC work? The BMW Motorrad DTC compares the speed of rotation of the front wheel and the rear wheel.
Rear wheel rotating with the motorcycle held stationary by applying the front brake (burnout). Heating up with the motorcycle on an auxiliary stand, in neutral or with a gear engaged. If the front wheel lifts clear of the ground under severe acceleration, the DTC 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.
6 94 An error message is issued if wheels without sensors are fitted to a motorcycle equipped with an RDC control unit. Engineering details Temperature compensation z Tyre pressure is a temperaturesensitive variable: pressure increases as tyre temperature rises and decreases as tyre temperature drops. Tyre temperature depends on ambient temperature, on the style of riding and the duration of the ride.
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 more the sleeve encloses the plastic element, the more the expansion of the plastic element is restricted, causing the spring rate to increase. The maximum spring rate is achieved when the sleeve completely encloses the plastic element and rests on the steel spring.
