The system is not optimised for
special requirements that apply
under extreme competitive situ-
ations off-road or on the track.
Special situations
The speeds of the front and rear
wheels are compared as one
means of detecting a wheel's
incipient tendency to lock. If
the system registers implaus-
ible values for a lengthy period
the ABS function is deactivated
for safety reasons and an ABS
fault message is issued. Self-dia-
gnosis has to complete before
fault messages can be issued.
In addition to problems with the
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS,
exceptional riding conditions can
lead to a fault message being
issued.
Exceptional riding
conditions:
Heating up with the motorcycle
on the centre stand or an auxil-
iary stand, engine idling or with
a gear engaged.
Rear wheel locked by the en-
gine brake for a lengthy period,
for example while descending
on a loose surface.
If a fault message is issued on
account of exceptional riding
conditions as outlined above, you
can reactivate the ABS function
by switching the ignition off and
on again.

WARNING
Brake system not regularly
serviced.
Risk of accident
In order to ensure that the ABS
is always maintained in op-

tial for you to comply strictly
with the specified inspection
intervals.
Reserves for safety
The potentially shorter braking
distances which BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS permits must not be
used as an excuse for careless
riding. ABS is primarily a means
of ensuring a safety margin in
genuine emergencies.
Take care when cornering! When
you apply the brakes on a corner,
the motorcycle's weight and
momentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is
unable to counteract their effects.
Evolution of ABS to
ABS Pro
Until now, the BMW Motorrad
ABS helped ensure a very high
degree of safety for braking
with the motorcycle upright
and travelling in a straight line.
Now ABS Pro offers enhanced
