Riding mode
Riding mode selection
Different riding modes enable the
motorcycle's characteristics to
adapt to the prevailing weather
conditions, the road and traffic,
and the rider's style of riding:
RAIN
ROAD (standard mode)
with Pro riding modes OE
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC PRO (only with coding
plug inserted)
ATTENTION
Riding on public roads
with coding plug inserted,
vehicles with power
reduction.
Risk of accident. Voiding of ho-
mologation for riding on public
roads.
Do not use the coding plug
for riding a vehicle with power
reduction on public roads.
Mode selection is not available
on vehicles with reduced power
output.
Each of these modes produces
perceptible differences in the
way the motorcycle behaves.
ABS and/or ASC/DTC can be
switched off in each mode: the
explanations below invariably ap-
ply to the behaviour of the mo-
torcycle with these systems act-
ive. The mode last selected is
automatically reactivated after the
ignition has been switched off
and then on again.
The basic rule is: the sportier
the mode you select, the more
directly can you tap into the en-
gine's reserves of power. At the
same time, the level of rider as-
sistance that the ABS and ASC/
DTC systems offer decreases ac-
cordingly.
The
RAIN
,
ROAD
and
DY-
NAMIC
riding modes are set up
for riding with standard tyres re-
commended by BMW Motorrad.
The
DYNAMIC PRO
riding
mode is for race-track condi-
tions and surfaces with a very
high level of grip.
Consequently, you must always
bear the following in mind with
regard to your selection of a ride
mode: the sportier the setting,
the greater the challenge to your
riding skill!
RAIN
The engine's full power is not
made available. Power increase
when you open the throttle is
virtually linear, engine response is
soft.
The ABS system always inter-
venes early enough to prevent as
effectively as possible the wheels
