Special situations
At an increasing angle, the accel-
eration performance is increas-
ingly limited in accordance with
physical laws. This can result in
reduced acceleration when com-
ing out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the
speeds of the front and rear
wheel are compared and the
angle is considered, for example.
If these values are detected to
be implausible for a long period,
a replacement value is used for
the angle and the DTC function
is deactivated. In these cases,
a DTC error is displayed. The
condition for a fault message is
the completed self-diagnosis.
In the following unusual driving
states, the BMW Motorrad DTC
can be automatically deactivated.
Unusual driving conditions:
Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period
with DTC deactivated.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake pulled (burn
out).
Heating up on an auxiliary
stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
If the coding plug for the SLICK
mode is not installed, the DTC
is reactivated by switching the
ignition off and then on again and
then driving over 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the front wheel loses contact
to the ground during extreme
acceleration, the DTC reduces
the engine torque until the front
wheel touches the ground again.
In this case, BMW Motorrad
recommends turning back the
throttle twist grip somewhat to
achieve a stable driving state
again as quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the throttle
grip should never be suddenly
turned back completely with-
out pull the clutch at the same
time. The engine braking torque
can cause the rear wheel to slip,
resulting in an unstable driving
state. This case cannot be con-
trolled by the BMW Motorrad
DTC.
