If the ignition is switched
on with the brake lever
operated and then the engine
is started and the motorcycle
moves off immediately, the
BMW Integral ABS is still in the
residual braking function

carried out as soon as the
brake lever is released com-
pletely for the first time. During
this period, neither the ABS
function nor the braking power
assistance is available.

wait until the ABS self-diagno-
sis has been carried out.
