under these circumstances, the
dynamic shift in load distribution
cannot keep pace with the in-
crease in deceleration and the
tyres cannot transmit the full
braking force to the surface of
the road. Under these circum-
stances, the front wheel would
lock up.
BMW Motorrad ABS prevents
the front wheels from locking.
Descending mountain
passes
WARNING
Braking only with the rear
brake on mountain descents
Brake fade, destruction of the
brakes due to overheating
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.
Wet and dirty brakes
Wetness and dirt on the brake
discs and the brake pads dimin-
ish braking efficiency.
Delayed braking action or poor
braking efficiency must be
reckoned with in the following
situations:
Riding in the rain or through
puddles of water.
After the vehicle has been
washed.
Riding on salted or gritted
roads.
After work has been carried on
the brakes, due to traces of oil
or grease.
When riding on dirty roadways.
WARNING
Wetness and dirt result in
diminished braking efficiency
Risk of accident
Apply the brakes lightly while
riding to remove wetness and
dirt, or dismount and clean the
brakes.
Think ahead and brake in good
time until full braking efficiency
is restored.
Park Scooter
