What significance
devolves on regular
maintenance?
Invariably, a technical sys-
tem cannot perform beyond
the abilities dictated by its level
of maintenance.
In order to ensure that the
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is
always maintained in optimum
condition, it is essential for you to
comply strictly with the specified
inspection intervals.
Reserves for safety
The potentially shorter braking
distances which BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS permits 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 Motorrad ABS
is unable to counteract their ef-
fects. Invariably, the rider bears
responsibility for assessing road
and traffic conditions and adopt-
ing his or her style of riding ac-
cordingly.
Do not take risks that would neg-
ate the additional safety offered
by this system.
BMW Motorrad ASC
How does ASC work?
The BMW Motorrad ASC system
compares the speed of rotation
of the front wheel and the rear
wheel. The differential is used to
compute slip as a measure of the
reserves of stability available at
the rear wheel. If slip exceeds a
certain limit, the engine control
intervenes and adapts the engine
torque accordingly.
What is the design
baseline for ASC?
BMW Motorrad ASC is designed
as an assistant system for the
rider and for use on public roads.
The extent to which the rider af-
fects ASC control can be consid-
erable (weight shifts when cor-
nering, items of luggage loose on
the motorcycle), especially when
style of riding takes rider and ma-
chine close to the limits imposed
by physics.
The system is not optimised for
special requirements that apply
under extreme competitive situ-
ations off-road or on the track.
The BMW Motorrad ASC sys-
tem can be deactivated in these
cases.
Even ASC is constrained by
the laws of physics. Invari-
ably, the rider bears responsibil-
ity for assessing road and traffic
