BRAKES
How can stopping distance be
minimised?
Each time the brakes are ap-
plied, a load distribution shift
takes place with the load shift-
ing forward from the rear to
the front wheel. The sharper
the motorcycle decelerates,
the more load is shifted to the
front wheel. The higher the
wheel load, the more braking
force can be transmitted.
To optimise stopping distance,
apply the front brakes rapidly
and keep on increasing the
force you apply to the brake
lever. This makes the best
possible use of the dynamic
increase in load at the front
wheel. Remember to pull the
clutch at the same time.
BMW Motorrad ABS Pro pre-
vents the front wheel from
locking up.
In the "emergency braking situ-
ations" that are trained so fre-
quently, braking force is ap-
plied as rapidly as possible and
with the rider's full force ap-
plied to the brake levers; un-
der these circumstances the
dynamic shift in load distribu-
tion cannot keep pace with the
increase in deceleration and
the tyres cannot transmit the
full braking force to the surface
of the road. In the absence
of load on the wheel the ABS
has to intervene to prevent the
front wheel from locking even
if the brakes are applied only
very lightly. This leads to a re-
duced braking effect.
Emergency braking
If you brake sharply from a
speed in excess of 50 km/h,
the brake light flashes rapidly
as a warning for road users be-
hind you.
If you brake until your speed
is less than 15 km/h, the haz-
ard warning lights start to flash
as well. The hazard warning
lights switch off automatically
as soon as you start to acceler-
ate and vehicle speed reaches
20 km/h.
