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 tyres with very good
grip, surfaces with a very high
level of grip, and one-up riding.
Consequently, you must always
bear the following in mind with

The sportier the setting, the
greater the challenge to your
riding skill!
It is the rider's responsibility to
select the correct riding mode.

suitable for wet surfaces.
Mode changes
A changeover of the functions in
the engine management system,
the ABS and the ASC or, as ap-
plicable, the DTC systems while
riding is possible only in certain
operating states:
No drive torque at the rear
wheel
No brake pressure in the brake
system.
One of the following precondi-
tions has to be satisfied in order
for this condition to be achieved:
The vehicle is at a standstill
with the ignition switched on.
With the vehicle on the move,
the throttle twistgrip must be
turned back and the brake
levers must be in the released
positions.
The desired riding mode is ini-
tially preselected. The mode
change does not take place until
the control systems in question
are all in the appropriate state.
The selection menu does not
disappear from the display until
the change of riding modes has
completed.

from locking and the rear wheel
from lifting off the ground.
