160 TECHNOLOGY IN DETAIL
The system is not optimized
for the special conditions
encountered under the extreme
conditions of competitive
off-road and racetrack use.
BMW Motorrad DTC can be
switched off in such instances.
WARNING
Risky riding style
Risk of accident despite DTC
The rider is always respon-
sible for adapting his/her
driving style.
Do not reduce the system's
extra safety margin with
careless riding or unneces-
sary risks.
Special situations
As lean angles increase, accel-
eration capability is also pro-
gressively restricted by the
laws of physics. This can result
in reduced acceleration when
coming out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the
DTC compares the speeds of
the front and rear wheel and
takes the angle of inclination
and other factors into account.
If the values for the angle of
inclination are detected to be
implausible for a long period, a
substitute value is used for the
angle of inclination/the DTC
is turned off. In these cases, a
DTC error is displayed. A self-
diagnosis must be completed
before the fault memory entry
will be displayed.
Under the following un-
usual riding conditions,
BMW Motorrad Traction
Control may be deactivated
automatically.
Unusual riding conditions:
Riding on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front wheel brake en-
gaged (burn-out).
Warming up the engine on an
auxiliary stand in neutral or
with gear engaged.
