100 ENGINEERING DETAILS
Rear wheel locked for a
lengthy period, for example
while descending off-road.
If a fault message is issued on
account of exceptional riding
conditions, you can reactivate
the ABS function by switching
the ignition off and on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
WARNING
Brake system not regularly
serviced
Risk of accident
In order to ensure that
the BMW Motorrad ABS
is always maintained in
optimum condition, it is
essential for you to comply
strictly with the specified
inspection intervals.
Safety reserves
The potentially shorter
braking distances which
BMW Motorrad ABS permits
must not be used as an excuse
for careless riding. ABS is
primarily a means of ensuring
a safety margin in genuine
emergencies.
WARNING
Braking when cornering
Risk of accident despite ABS
Invariably, the rider bears
responsibility for assessing
road and traffic conditions
and adopting his or her style
of riding accordingly.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional margin
of safety offered by this sys-
tem.
ABS Pro
ABS Pro increases safety,
particularly when braking
in bends. ABS Pro prevents
the wheels from locking
even under sharp braking.
ABS Pro reduces abrupt
changes in steering force,
particularly in shock-braking
situations, counteracting the
vehicle's otherwise natural
but undesirable tendency to
straighten up.
ABS intervention
Technically speaking, depend-
ing on the riding situation
ABS Pro adapts ABS inter-
vention to the motorcycle's
bank angle. Signals for rate
of roll and rate of yaw and
lateral acceleration are used
