Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake engaged (burn
out).
Heating up on an auxiliary
stand at idle speed or with gear
engaged.
If the coding plug is not in use,
turning the ignition off and on
again and then riding the motor-
cycle at a minimum speed reacti-
vates the DTC after a fault.
Minimum speed for DTC
activation
min 6 mph (min 10 km/h)
If the front wheel loses con-
tact with the ground under ex-
treme acceleration, the ASC or
DTC function reduces the engine
torque in the
RAIN
and
ROAD
riding modes until the front wheel
makes contact with the ground
again.
In the riding modes
DYNA
,
DYNA PRO
and
Enduro
,
the front wheel lift-off detection
permits brief wheelies.
The front wheel lift-off detection
is switched off in riding mode
Enduro PRO
.
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you respond to the front
wheel lifting off by twisting back
the throttle grip somewhat to re-
turn to a stable driving condition
as quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the throttle
grip should never be suddenly
twisted back completely unless
the clutch is disengaged at the
same time. The engine braking
torque can cause the rear wheel
to slip, resulting in an unstable
driving state. This case cannot
be controlled by BMW Motorrad
DTC.

The electronic chassis and
suspension adjustment
Dynamic ESA can automatically
adapt your motorcycle to the
load. If the spring preload is set
to
AUTO
, the rider does not
need to worry about the load
setting.
When driving off and while driv-
ing, the system monitors the
compression at the rear wheel
and corrects the spring preload
so that the correct riding position
is adjusted. The damping is also
adapted automatically to the load.
Using leveling sensors,
Dynamic ESA detects
movements of the chassis and
suspension and responds to
them by adapting the EDC
valves. As a result, the chassis
