WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet
roads and at extreme bank
angles
Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid ex-
tremely sharp inclines.
Brakes
How can stopping
distance be minimised?
Each time the brakes are applied,
a load distribution shift takes
place with the load shifting for-
ward from the rear to the front
wheel. The sharper the vehicle
decelerates, the more load is
shifted to the front wheel. The
higher the wheel load, the more
braking force can be transmitted
without the wheel locking.
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.
In the event of extreme emer-
gency braking (a situation that is
intensively practised), as part of
which the brake pressure must
be generated as quickly as pos-
sible and using all available force,
dynamic load distribution is un-
able to following the increase in
deceleration and consequently
the brake force cannot be fully
transferred to the roadway.
BMW Motorrad ABS prevents
the front wheels from locking.
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 behind you.
If you brake until your speed is
less than 15 km/h, the hazard
warning lights start to flash as
well. The hazard warning lights
switch off automatically as soon
as you start to accelerate and
vehicle speed reaches 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
