ceptible reduction in acceleration
out of very tight bends.
The speeds of the front and rear
wheels are compared and DTC,
unlike ASC, also takes the bank
angle into account in processing
data to detect the rear wheel's
incipient tendency to spin or slip
sideways.
If the electronic processor re-
ceives values for the bank angle
that it considers implausible over
a lengthy period, a dummy value
is used for the bank angle or the
DTC function is switched off.
Under these circumstances the
indicator for a DTC fault shows.
Self-diagnosis has to complete
before fault messages can be is-
sued.
The BMW Motorrad Traction
Control can shut down automat-
ically under the exceptional riding
conditions outlined below.
Exceptional riding
conditions:
Riding for a lengthy period with
the front wheel lifted off the
ground (wheelie).
Rear wheel rotating with the
vehicle held stationary by ap-
plying the front brake (burn-
out).
Heating up with the motorcycle
on an auxiliary stand, in neutral
or with a gear engaged.
Accelerating the motorcycle to
a defined minimum speed after
switching the ignition off and
then on again reactivates the
DTC after a fault.
Minimum speed for ac-
tivation of DTC
min 5 km/h
If the front wheel lifts clear of the
ground under severe accelera-
tion, the ASC or DTC reduces
engine torque in the
RAIN
and
ROAD
riding modes until the front
wheel regains contact with the
ground.
The
ENDURO
riding mode is de-
signed for off-road operation and
not suitable for on-road opera-
tion.
Front wheel lift-off detection
allows brief wheelies in the
DYNAMIC
and
ENDURO
riding
modes.
BMW Motorrad recommends
turning the throttle grip back
slightly when lifting the front
wheel in order to reach a stable
driving condition again as soon
as possible.
When riding on a slippery sur-
face, never snap the throttle grip
fully closed without pulling the
clutch at the same time. En-
