nosis routine must be completed
before the error will be displayed.
The following unusual driving
conditions may lead to automatic
deactivation of BMW Motorrad
ASC:
Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period
with ASC deactivated.
Rear wheel rotating with the
vehicle held stationary by ap-
plying the front brake (burn-
out).
Warm-up on the center or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
ASC is reactivated by switching
the ignition off and on and then
riding at a speed above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
If the front wheel loses contact
to the ground during extreme
acceleration, the ASC reduces
the engine torque until the front
wheel touches the ground again.
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you respond to this condi-
tion by twisting back the throttle
grip somewhat to return to stable
dynamic operating conditions as
quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the
throttle grip must never be
suddenly turned back completely
without pulling the clutch at
the same time. The engine's
braking torque could cause the
rear wheel to lock, resulting in
unstable motorcycle conditions.
This case cannot be controlled
by BMW Motorrad ASC.
Tire pressure control
(RDC)
with Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM)
OE
Operation
A sensor located in each tire
monitors the air temperature and
the inflation pressure inside the
tire and transmits this information
to the control unit.
The sensors are equipped with
a centrifugal controller, which
does not enable the transmis-
sion of the measured values until
a speed of approx. 18.5 mph
(30 km/h) is reached. The display
shows "
­­
" for each tire until
the tire-pressure signal is re-
ceived for the first time. The
sensors continue to transmit
the measured values for approx.
15 minutes after the motorcycle
comes to a stop.
