resulting under extreme weather
conditions on the racetrack.
Special situations
To detect the tendency of the
wheels to lock up, the speeds
of the front and rear wheel are
compared. If implausible values
are detected over a longer period
of time, the ABS function is de-
activated for safety reasons and
an ABS fault is indicated. The
condition for a fault message is
the completed self-diagnosis.
In addition to problems on the
BMW Motorrad ABS, unusual
driving conditions can also lead
to a fault message.
Unusual driving conditions:
Driving on the rear wheel
(wheely) for a longer period.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake pulled (burn
out).
Heating up on the main or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
Locked-up rear wheel for a
longer period of time, e.g.
when riding downhill offroad.
Should a fault message result
due to one of the driving condi-
tions described above, the ABS
function can be reactivated by
switching the ignition off and
then on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is al-
ways only as good as its
maintenance condition.
To ensure that the BMW Motor-
rad ABS is in an optimally main-
tained condition, it is vital that the
specified inspection intervals be
complied with.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad ABS permits
must not be used as an excuse
for careless riding. ABS is pri-
marily a means of ensuring a
safety margin in genuine emer-
gencies.
Take care when cornering. When
you apply the brakes on a cor-
ner, the motorcycle's weight and
momentum take over and even
BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to
counteract their effects.
