This running in procedure is essential if the tyres are to achieve maximum grip. New tyres do not provide full grip straight away. Wet roads and extremely sharp inclines pose a risk of accident. Ride carefully and avoid extremely sharp inclines.
5 Riding 84 z Riding in the rain or through puddles of water. After the motorcycle 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 dirt-covered surfaces or off-road. Wetness and dirt result in poor braking efficiency. 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.
Refuelling Fuel grade Make sure the ground is level and firm and place the motorcycle on its stand. The steering lock is disengaged. For optimum fuel consumption, fuel should be sulphur-free or as low-sulphur as possible. Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Do not attempt to run the vehicle on leaded fuel or fuel with metallic additives, e.g. manganese or iron. You can run the engine on fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %, i.e. E10. Recommended fuel grade Super unleaded (max.

Fully open the fuel filler cap. z Refuel with fuel of the grade stated below; do not fill the tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck. If filling occurs after the fuel level has gone below the reserve limit, the amount filled must be greater than the reserve amount for the new fuel level to be recognised and the warning light to switch off. Usable fuel capacity approx.
5 The motorcycle can topple and fall on its side. Secure motorcycle against toppling; this is best done with the support of a 2nd person. Push the motorcycle onto the transportation flat and hold it in position: do not place it on the side stand or centre stand. The ball joint and the brake lines can suffer damage. Take care not to damage components. Pass the straps on left and right through the suspension and strap the motorcycle down.

Riding mode 90 Three riding modes enable the motorcycle's characteristics to adapt to the prevailing weather conditions, the road and traffic, and the rider's style of riding: RAIN ROAD DYNAMIC Engineering details 6 z Selection Each of these modes produces perceptible differences in the way the motorcycle behaves. DTC can be switched off in each mode; the explanations below invariably refer to conditions with the system switched ON.
Mode changes A mode change involving functions in the engine management system and the DTC system is possible only when drive torque is not applied to the rear wheel. In order to achieve this state, the motorcycle must be at a standstill with the ignition switched on, or the throttle twistgrip must be in the fully closed position, the clutch lever must be pulled and the clutch disengaged. The desired ride mode is initially preselected.
6 Engineering details 92 z How does ABS work? The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors hat include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean, dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance.
Even under severe braking, a high level of tyre grip can mean that the front wheel does not lock up until very late, if at all. Consequently, ABS does not intervene until very late, if at all. Under these circumstances the rear wheel can lift off the ground, and the outcome can be a highsiding situation in which the motorcycle can flip over. Severe braking can cause the rear wheel to lift off the ground.
6 Engineering details 94 z What significance devolves on regular maintenance? momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is unable to counteract their effects. Do not take risks that would negate the additional safety offered by this system. Invariably, a technical system cannot perform beyond the abilities dictated by its level of maintenance.
Special situations In accordance with the laws of physics, the accelerating ability is restricted more and more as the heel angle increases. Consequently, there can be a perceptible reduction in acceleration out of very tight bends. The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared and the angle of heel taken into account as one means of detecting the rear wheel's incipient tendency to spin or slip sideways.
Tyre pressure monitoring RDC Temperature compensation with the reading shown on the display. 96 Function Tyre pressure is a temperaturesensitive variable: pressure increases as tyre temperature rises and decreases as tyre temperature drops. Tyre temperature depends on ambient temperature, on the style of riding and the duration of the ride. The tyre-pressure readings shown by the multifunction display are temperaturecompensated; the reference tyre temperature for these readings is always 20 °C.
Electronic Suspension Adjustment ESA II Suspension adjustments Depending on the load on the motorcycle, the appropriate load status must first be selected when the motorcycle is stationary. The damping characteristics on both spring struts and the spring mount and the spring rate on the rear spring strut are adjusted on the basis of the riding mode that is then selected.
