with the rider's full force applied
to the brake levers; under these
circumstances the dynamic shift
in load distribution cannot keep
pace with the increase in de-
celeration and the tyres cannot
transmit the full braking force to
the surface of the road.
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS pre-
vents the front wheel from lock-

Panic braking
If you brake sharply from a speed
in excess of 50 km⁄h, the brake
light flashes rapidly as an addi-
tional warning for road users be-
hind you.
The hazard warning lights sys-
tem switches on if you brake to
below 15 km⁄h in this process.
The hazard warning lights system
automatically switches off from a
speed of 20 km⁄h.
Descending mountain
passes
WARNING
Braking only with the rear
brake on mountain descents
Brake fade, destruction of the
brakes due to overheating
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.
Wet and dirty brakes
Wetness and dirt on the brake
discs and the brake pads dimin-
ish braking efficiency.
Delayed braking action or poor
braking efficiency must be
reckoned with in the following
situations:
Riding in the rain or through
puddles of water.
After the vehicle has been
washed.
Riding on salted or gritted
roads.
After work has been carried on
the brakes, due to traces of oil
or grease.
Riding on dirty surfaces.
WARNING
Wetness and dirt result in
diminished braking efficiency
Risk of accident
Apply the brakes lightly while
riding to remove wetness and
dirt, or dismount and clean the
brakes.
Think ahead and brake in good
time until full braking efficiency
is restored.
