Recharge the battery before you start the engine, or use jump leads and a donor battery to start. See the subsection on jump starting in "Maintenance" for more details. The engine starts.
ASC self-diagnosis ABS self-diagnosis completed The ABS warning light goes out. Phase 1 Test of the diagnosable system components with the vehicle at a standstill. The ASC warning light slow-flashes. Check all the warning and telltale lights. After the ABS self-diagnosis completes, an indicator showing an ABS fault will appear. You can continue to ride. Bear in mind that neither the ABS function nor the integral braking function is available.
5 92 Comply with the rpm limits for running in. Running-in speeds Riding <5000 min-1 (Odometer reading 0...1000 km) z no full throttle (Odometer reading 0...1000 km) Note the mileage after which the running-in check should be carried out. Mileage until the running-in check 500...1200 km Brake pads New brake pads have to bed down before they can achieve their optimum friction levels. You can compensate for this initial reduction in braking efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the levers.
Brakes How can stopping distance be minimised? Each time the brakes are applied, a load distribution shift takes place with the load shifting forward from the rear to the front wheel. The sharper the motorcycle 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.
Hazard braking 94 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. Riding 5 z with ABS Pro OE Descending mountain passes WARNING Braking only with the rear brake on mountain descents. Brake fade.
Possibility of a fall not precluded Although ABS Pro provides the rider with valuable assistance and constitutes a huge advance in safety for braking with the motorcycle banked for cornering, it cannot under any circumstances be considered as redefining the physical limits that apply to motorcycling. It is still possible for these limits to be overshot due to misjudgement or rider error. In extreme cases this can result in a crash.
5 Riding 96 z Extend the side stand and prop the motorcycle on the stand. If the camber of the roadway permits, turn the handlebars all the way to the left. On a gradient, the motorcycle should always face uphill; select 1st gear. Centre stand Switch off the engine. ATTENTION Poor ground underneath the stand. Risk of damage to parts if vehicle topples. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. ATTENTION Centre stand retracts due to severe movements.
ATTENTION Riding on unsurfaced roads or dirty road surfaces. Increased brake-pad wear. Check the thickness of the brake pads more frequently and replace the brake pads in good time. Spring preload and shockabsorber settings WARNING Changed values for spring preload and spring-strut damping for riding off-road. Impaired handling characteristics on surfaced roads. If you have been off-roading, be sure to correct spring preload and spring-strut damping characteristics before you return to surfaced roads.
5 Riding 98 z Alternative fuel grade Regular unleaded (Power- and consumption-related restrictions. If e.g. the engine is to be operated in countries with low fuel grades at 91 research octane number, then the motorcycle must first be programmed appropriately at your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer.)

6 Engineering details 106 z because the shift pauses are shorter. It is not necessary to close the throttle valve when shifting under acceleration. When braking and downshifting (throttle valve closed), engine speed is adjusted by blipping the throttle. Shift time is shorter than a gearshift with clutch actuation.
ATTENTION The integral function means that it is not possible to make the rear wheel spin with the front brake applied (Burn Out). Damage to rear brake and clutch. Do not attempt Burn Out. How does ABS work? The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors that 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 and dry asphalt surface.
6 Engineering details 108 z What feedback does the rider receive from the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? If the ABS system has to reduce braking force on account of the circumstances described above, vibration is perceptible through the handbrake lever. When the handbrake lever is pulled, brake pressure is also built up at the rear wheel by the integral function.
What significance devolves on regular maintenance? If a fault message is issued on account of exceptional riding conditions, you can reactivate the ABS function by switching the ignition off and on again. Reserves for safety WARNING Brake system not regularly serviced. Risk of accident In order to ensure that the ABS is always maintained in optimum condition, it is essential for you to comply strictly with the specified inspection intervals.
6 Engineering details 110 z sharp braking. ABS Pro reduces abrupt changes in steering force, particularly in panicbraking situations, counteracting the vehicle's otherwise natural but undesirable tendency to straighten up. ABS intervention Technically speaking, depending on the riding situation ABS Pro adapts ABS intervention to the motorcycle's bank angle. Signals for rate of roll and rate of yaw and lateral acceleration are used to calculate bank angle.
Risky riding. Risk of accident despite ASC. Invariably, it remains the rider's responsibility to adapt riding style to riding conditions. Do not take risks that would negate the additional safety offered by this system. Special situations In accordance with the laws of physics, the ability to accelerate is restricted more and more as the angle of heel increases. Consequently, there can be a perceptible lag in acceleration out of very tight bends.
6 Engineering details 112 z When riding on a slippery surface, never snap the throttle twistgrip fully closed without pulling the clutch at the same time. Engine braking torque can cause the rear wheel to lock, with a corresponding loss of stability. BMW Motorrad ASC is unable to control a situation of this nature.
Pressure adaptation Compare the RDC readings on the multifunction display with the value in the table on the inside cover of the Rider's Manual. Then use the air line to compensate for the difference between the RDC reading and the value in the table. Example: According to the Rider's Manual, tyre pressure should be 2.5 bar, but the reading in the multifunction display is 2.3 bar, so pressure is low by 0.2 bar. The gauge on the air line shows 2.4 bar. You must now increase tyre pressure by the 0.
