Riding mode
Riding mode selection
There are four riding modes to
choose from for adjusting the
motorcycle to the weather, road
conditions and driving style:
RAIN
ROAD (standard mode)
Pro driving modes
OE
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC PRO (with coding
plug installed only)
The following applies for
vehicles with power reduc-
tion: When the coding plug is
used, the operating permit for
public roads is voided.
Do not use the coding plug on
these motorcycles on public
roads.
No mode-selection options are
available on vehicles with power
reduction.
Each riding mode affects the be-
havior of the motorcycle in a dif-
ferent way. ABS and/or ASC/
DTC can be switched off in each
mode; the following explanations
always refer to the activated sys-
tems. The last selected riding
mode is reactivated automatically
after the ignition is switched off
and on again.
The following always applies:
The sportier the selected mode,
the more directly the engine out-
put can be utilized. At the same
time, the support of the driver by
the ABS and ASC/DTC systems
is increasingly reduced.
The
RAIN
,
ROAD
, and
DYNAMIC
driving modes
are designed for riding with
series tires recommended
by BMW Motorrad.
DY-
NAMIC PRO
driving mode
assumes racetracks and roads
with very good adhesion.
Therefore, consider the follow-
ing when selecting the riding
mode: The sportier the setting,
the more demanding the require-
ments for the driving skill of the
rider are!
RAIN
The engine output is only par-
tially available. Twisting the throt-
tle produces a virtually linear in-
crease in power while the en-
gine's response is smooth.
The ABS system always inter-
venes early enough to prevent
the wheels from locking up and
the rear wheel from lifting off the
ground if possible.
The ASC/DTC system intervenes
early enough to always prevent
the rear wheel from spinning if
possible.
