Check the display of all indica-
tor and warning lights.
ASC self-diagnosis rou-
tine not completed
ASC is not available because
the self-diagnosis routine was
not completed. (The motor-
cycle must reach a specified
minimum speed before the
system can check operation of
the wheel sensors: min 3 mph
(min 5 km/h))
If an ASC error is displayed after
the ASC self-diagnosis is com-
pleted:
It remains possible to continue
riding. It must be noted that
the ASC function is not avail-
able.
Have the malfunction corrected
as soon as possible at an
authorized service facility,
preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad Retailer.
Breaking in
Engine
While running in the motorcy-
cle, vary the throttle opening
and engine-speed range fre-
quently; avoid driving for long
periods at a constant speed.
Choose curvy, slightly hilly sec-
tions of road if possible.
Observe the engine run-in
speeds.
Engine run-in speed
<5000 min
-1
(Mileage
0...621 miles (0...1000 km))
Observe mileage, after which
the running-in check should be
performed.
Mileage until first
running-in check
311...746 miles
(500...1200 km)
Brake pads
New brake pads have to be bro-
ken in before they can achieve
their optimum frictional force.
This initial reduction in braking
effect can be compensated for
by exerting greater pressure on
the brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Extension of the braking distance,
accident hazard
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
