technical braking capacity to
considerably reduce braking
distances, even when road
conditions are poor. When
driving straight ahead, the
BMW Integral ABS enables
safe, reliable braking opti-
mized for the respective
conditions.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potentially
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.
Integral brake
The integral braking function
activates the front and rear
brakes jointly, which means
that the brakes for both wheels
are applied when one brake
lever is pressed. The electron-
ics in the BMW Integral ABS
controls the braking force
distribution between the front
and rear brakes. Braking-force
distribution depends on load
and is recalculated every time
the ABS controller comes into
action.
Partially integral brake
configuration
Your motorcycle is equipped
with a partially integral brake
configuration. In this partially
integral brake configuration,
the integral braking function is
activated only when you pull
the handbrake lever. The foot-
brake lever acts only on the
rear brake.
Power braking assistance
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
higher braking efficiency than
standard brake systems.
