DTC system intervention is even
later, which means that even on
dry asphalt drifting is possible
under sharp acceleration when
cornering.
Mode changes
A mode change involving func-
tions in the engine management
system and the DTC system is
possible only when drive torque
is not applied to the rear wheel.
In order to achieve this state,
the motorcycle must be at
a standstill with the ignition
switched on,
or
the throttle twistgrip must be in
the fully closed position,
the clutch lever must be pulled
and the clutch disengaged.
The desired ride mode is initially
preselected. The mode change
does not take place until the sys-
tems in question are all in the
appropriate state.
The selection menu does not
disappear from the display un-
til the mode change has taken
place.
Hill Start Control
Hill Start Control
with Hill Start Control
OE
Hill Start Control is a pullaway
assistant that operates on the
partially integral ABS system to
prevent the vehicle from rolling
back on a gradient without the
rider having to keep pressure ap-
plied to the brake lever. When
Hill Start Control is activated
pressure is built up in the rear
brake system to keep the ma-
chine at a standstill on a gradient.
The holding pressure built up in
the brake system depends on
the steepness of the gradient.
Brake system with
BMW Motorrad Integral
ABS
Partially integral brakes
Your motorcycle is equipped with
partially integral brakes. Both
front and rear brakes are applied
when you pull the handbrake
lever. The footbrake lever acts
only on the rear brake.
While the brakes are slowing the
motorcycle, the BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS adapts braking-force
distribution between front and
rear brakes to suit the load on
the motorcycle.
ATTENTION
The integral function means
that it is not possible to
make the rear wheel spin
