as possible and with great force,
the dynamic load distribution
cannot follow the increased de-
celeration and the braking force
cannot be completely transferred
to the road surface.
Locking up of the front wheel is
prevented by the BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS.
Descending mountain
passes
There is a danger of the
brakes fading if you use
only the rear brakes when
descending mountain passes.
Under extreme conditions, the
brakes could overheat and suffer
severe damage.
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.
Wet, soiled brakes
Moisture and dirt on the brake
rotors and the brake pads result
in a decrease in the braking ac-
tion.
Delayed or poorer braking action
must be expected in the follow-
ing situations:
When driving in the rain and
through puddles.
After washing the vehicle.
When driving on roads spread
with salt.
After working on the brakes
due to oil or grease residues.
When driving on soiled roads
or offroad.
Poor braking action due to
moisture and dirt.
Brake until brakes are dry or
clean; clean if necessary.
Brake early until the full braking
action is available again.
Parking your
motorcycle
Side stand
Switch off engine.
If the ground is soft or un-
even, there is no guaran-
tee that the motorcycle will rest
firmly on the stand.
Always check that the ground
under the stand is level and
firm.
The side stand is designed
to support only the weight
of the motorcycle.
Do not lean or sit on the
motorcycle with the side stand
extended.
Fold out side stand and park
motorcycle.
If the slope of the road permits,
turn the handlebars to the left.
On slopes point the motorcycle
uphill and engage 1st gear.
