Mode changes
The riding mode can be
changed while the vehicle is
stationary with the ignition on.
It is possible to change it while
driving under the following
conditions:
No drive torque on the rear
wheel.
No brake pressure in the
brake system.
The following steps must be
taken to change the riding
mode:
Close the throttle twistgrip.
Release the brake levers.
with cruise control
OE
Deactivate adaptive cruise
control.
The desired riding mode is ini-
tially preselected. The mode
change does not take place un-
til the systems in question are
all in the appropriate state.
The selection menu does not
disappear from the display until
the mode change has taken
place.

How does dynamic engine
brake control work?
The purpose of dynamic en-
gine brake control is to prevent
the unstable riding states that
can be produced by excess-
ive engine braking moment
acting on the rear wheel. De-
pending on the road condition
and riding dynamic, excessive
braking torque can produce
a sharp rise in rear-wheel slip
and impair directional stability.
Dynamic engine brake control
limits this slip at the rear wheel
to a safe, mode-dependent reg-
ulated slip.
Causes for excessive slip at
the rear wheel:
Riding with engine overrun
on a surface with a low coef-
ficient of friction (e.g. wet
leaves).
Rear-wheel hop when rider
downshifts.
Sharp braking during sporty
riding.
In the same way as
BMW Motorrad ASC, dynamic
engine brake control compares
the wheel circumferential
velocities of the front and rear
