Severe braking can cause<br />
the rear wheel to lift off the<br />
ground.<br />
When you brake, bear in mind<br />
that ABS control cannot be relied<br />
on in all circumstances to prevent<br />
the rear wheel from lifting clear of<br />
the ground.<br />
Special situations<br />
The speeds of the front and rear<br />
wheels are compared as one<br />
means of detecting a wheel's<br />
incipient tendency to lock. If the<br />
system registers implausible values<br />
for a lengthy period the ABS<br />
function is deactivated for safety<br />
reasons and an ABS fault message<br />
is issued. Self-diagnosis<br />
has to complete before fault<br />
messages can be issued.<br />
In addition to problems with the<br />
<strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong> Race ABS, exceptional<br />
riding conditions can<br />
lead to a fault message being issued.<br />
Exceptional riding<br />
conditions:<br />
Heating up with the motorcycle<br />
on an auxiliary stand, in neutral<br />
or with a gear engaged.<br />
Rear wheel locked by the engine<br />
brake for a lengthy period,<br />
for example while descending<br />
steep gradients.<br />
If a fault message is issued on<br />
account of exceptional riding<br />
conditions as outlined above, you<br />
can reactivate the ABS function<br />
by switching the ignition off and<br />
on again.<br />
What significance<br />
devolves on regular<br />
maintenance?<br />
Invariably, a technical system<br />
cannot perform beyond<br />
the abilities dictated by its level<br />
of maintenance.<br />
In order to ensure that the <strong>BMW</strong><br />
<strong>Motorrad</strong> Race ABS is always<br />
maintained in optimum condition,<br />
it is essential for you to comply<br />
strictly with the specified inspection<br />
intervals.<br />
Reserves for safety<br />
The potentially shorter braking<br />
distances which <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong><br />
Race ABS permits must not be<br />
used as an excuse for careless<br />
riding. ABS is primarily a means<br />
of ensuring a safety margin in<br />
genuine emergencies.<br />
Take care when cornering. When<br />
you apply the brakes on a corner,<br />
the motorcycle's weight and<br />
momentum take over and even<br />
<strong>BMW</strong> <strong>Motorrad</strong> Race ABS is unable<br />
to counteract their effects.
