Brake system with
BMW Integral ABS
Sensitive electronic con-
trol
It takes skill and sensitive
control of the brakes to stop
safely on a motorcycle. If
the front brakes lock and the
wheel skids, the necessary
longitudinal and lateral sta-
bilizing forces are lost, and a
fall can result. For this rea-
son, the rider seldom makes
full use of available braking
performance in an emergen-
cy.
The BMW Integral ABS pro-
vides improved braking de-
celeration by means of lock
up protection for both wheels
and braking force distribu-
tion by means of the integral
braking function. Making full
use of the motorcycle's tech-
nical braking capacity will
minimize braking distances
noticeably, even when road
conditions are poor. When
driving straight ahead, BMW
Integral ABS enables safe, re-
liable braking optimized for
the respective conditions.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potential-
ly shorter braking distances
which BMW Integral ABS per-
mits 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 Integral
ABS is unable to counteract
their effects.
Partially integral brake
Your motorcycle is equipped
with a partially integral brake
configuration. Both front and
rear brakes are applied simul-
taneously when you pull the
handbrake lever. The foot-
brake lever acts only on the
rear brake.
The electronic controller in
the BMW Integral ABS regu-
lates braking-force distribu-
tion between front and rear
wheels. Braking-force distri-
bution depends on load and
is recalculated every time the
ABS controller comes into ac-
tion.
Brake booster
On braking, BMW Integral
ABS boosts the brake force
on the wheel by means of a
hydraulic pump. By boosting
the braking force in this way,
BMW Integral ABS achieves
