justment (ESA)OE 5 Damping 6 Vehicle load Range The range indicates the travel distance available with the remaining fuel. The av- erage consumption employed to calculate the remaining travel range does not appear in the dis- play and may vary from the indi- cated average consumption. You must put at least five liters of fuel into the fuel tank for the new level to be registered correctly. If the sensor cannot register the new level the range display can- not be updated. If the motorcycle is standing on its side stand, the motorcycle's inclined position will prevent the fuel level from being registered accurately. For this reason travel range is only calculated with the side stand retracted. The determined range is an approximate reading. BMW Motorrad therefore recom- mends that you do not try to use the full range before refueling. Ambient temperature Engine heat can lead to spurious readings of ambi- ent temperature when the mo- torcycle is stationary. When the effects of engine heat on the monitored temperature become excessive the display responds by temporarily reverting to -- as the display reading. If the ambient temperature drops below 37 °F (3 °C), this warning of possible icing- up appears. The display auto- matically switches from any other mode to the temperature read- ing when the temperature drops below this threshold for the first time. Tire inflation pressures with Tire Pressure Control (TPC/RDC)OE 3 22 z Displays

sures refer to a tire temperature of 68 °F (20 °C). The figure on the left side 1 indicates the front tire's inflation pressure, while the figure on the right 2 shows the inflation pressure in the rear tire. Immediately after switch- ing on the ignition, "-- --" is displayed, as the transfer of the inflation pressure values does not begin until a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h) is exceeded for the first time. If the pressure in a tire drops to a critical level the corresponding status indicator shows red. The tire warning symbol also appears on the display. The general warning lamp flashes red. Additional information on the BMW Motorrad Tire Pressure Monitor is provided starting on page ( 93). Oil level indicator The oil-level indicator gives you an indication of the en- gine oil level. The conditions for the oil level indicator are as follows: Engine at operating tempera- ture. Engine idling for at least ten seconds. Side stand retracted. Motorcycle is vertical. The readings mean: OK: Oil level correct. CHECK!: Check oil level during next refueling stop. – – –: No measurement possi- ble (above-mentioned conditions not met). Service display If a service is due, for a brief period after the pre- ride check the service symbol appears on the display and the service-due date shows instead of the odometer reading. 3 2 z Displays

General warning light briefly shows yellow and the service symbol lights up continuously. If the countdown to the next service is less than one month, service-due date 1 appears on the display. If the vehicle covers high an- nual mileages then shorter ser- vice intervals may be required. If the countdown distance to the early service is less than 621 mls (1000 km), countdown distance 2 appears on the dis- play. If the service display appears more than a month before the service date, the stored date must be adjusted in the instrument cluster. This situation can occur if the battery was disconnected. 3 24 z Displays

active General warning lamp shows yellow. Key appears on the display. Possible cause: The key being used is not autho- rized for starting, or communica- tion between the key and engine electronics is disrupted. Remove other motorcycle keys from the ignition key ring. Use the reserve key. Have the defective key re- placed, preferably by an autho- rized BMW Motorrad retailer. Fuel down to reserve Reserve-fuel symbol lights up. Fuel-level reading turns yellow. Fuel shortage can lead to engine misfires. This can result in unexpected engine de- activation (accident hazard) and damage to the catalytic con- verter. Do not drive to the extent that the fuel tank is completely empty. Possible cause: At the most, the fuel tank still contains the reserve fuel quantity. Reserve fuel quantity Approx. 1.1 gal (Approx. 4 l) Refueling procedure ( 83). Coolant temperature too high General warning lamp shows red. The temperature reading turns red. Driving with an overheated engine can result in engine damage. Be sure to observe the measures listed below. Possible cause: The coolant temperature is too high. If possible, continue driving in the part-load range to cool down the engine. In traffic jams, switch off the engine, but keep the ignition switched on so that the radia- tor fan continues to operate. Should the coolant temperature frequently be too high, have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by an authorized workshop, preferably an autho- rized BMW Motorrad retailer. 3 3 z Displays

up. Possible cause: The engine control unit has diag- nosed a fault. The engine is in the emer- gency operating mode. Un- usual engine response is a possi- bility. Adapt your style of riding accord- ingly. Avoid accelerating sharply and overtaking. If you continue to ride be pre- pared for unusual engine be- havior (low power, poor throttle response, abrupt stalling, etc.) Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at an au- thorized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Severe engine fault The engine symbol flashes. Possible cause: The engine control unit has diag- nosed a severe fault. An engine fault that can lead to severe consequen- tial damage has been detected. Adapt your style of riding accord- ingly. Ride slowly, avoid acceler- ating and overtaking. If possible, have the motorcycle picked up. If you continue to ride be pre- pared for unusual engine be- havior (low power, poor throttle response, abrupt stalling, etc.) Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at an au- thorized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Engine-oil level too low The oil can symbol is dis- played. Possible cause: The electronic oil level sensor has detected a low engine oil level. Check the engine-oil level with the dipstick the next time you stop to refuel: Checking engine oil level ( 110). If oil level is too low: Topping up engine oil ( 112). Battery charge current insufficient General warning lamp shows red. The battery symbol is dis- played. A discharged battery leads to the failure of various mo- torcycle systems, e.g. lighting, 3 32 z Displays

dangerous driving situations. Do not continue riding. The battery is not being charged. If you continue driving, the vehi- cle electronics will discharge the battery. Possible cause: Alternator or alternator drive de- fective. Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at an au- thorized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Onboard system voltage low The split battery symbol appears on the display. Generator power is only just suf- ficient to supply all consumers and charge the battery. Possible cause: Too many consumers switched on. On-board system voltage tends to drop particularly at low engine rpm and when the engine is idling. When riding at low engine rpm switch off consumers that are not necessary for road safety (e.g. heated body warmer or auxiliary headlights). Onboard system voltage critical General warning lamp shows yellow. The split battery symbol appears on the display. Generator power is no longer sufficient to supply all consumers and charge the battery. In order to ensure that the engine can be started and the motorcycle ridden, the onboard electronics switch off the electricity supply to the onboard sockets and the auxiliary headlights. In extreme cases the seat heating and the grip heating might also be shut down. Possible cause: Too many consumers switched on. On-board system voltage tends to drop particularly at low engine rpm and when the engine is idling. When riding at low engine rpm switch off consumers that are not necessary for road safety (e.g. heated body warmer or auxiliary headlights). Rear light failure General warning lamp shows yellow. Bulb symbol with arrow pointing to the rear appears on the display. 3 3 z Displays

flashing turn indicator defective. The LED tail light must be re- placed. Please contact a specialized workshop, preferably an autho- rized BMW Motorrad retailer. Front light failure General warning lamp shows yellow. Bulb symbol with arrow pointing to the front ap- pears on the display. Possible cause: Low-beam headlight, high-beam headlight, parking light or front flashing turn indicator defective. The low-beam headlight for one of the LED turn indicators must be replaced. Please contact a specialized workshop, preferably an autho- rized BMW Motorrad retailer. Replace bulb for high-beam headlight ( 126). Light failure General warning lamp shows yellow. Bulb symbol with two ar- rows appears on the dis- play. Possible cause: A combination of light failures has occurred. Please contact a specialized workshop, preferably an autho- rized BMW Motorrad retailer. Outside temperature warning The ice crystal symbol is displayed. Possible cause: The outside temperature mea- sured at the vehicle is lower than 37 °F (3 °C). The outside temperature warning does not mean that there is no risk of black ice form- ing at measured temperatures above 37 °F (3 °C). At low outside temperatures, icy conditions must especially be ex- pected on bridges and in shady road areas. Think well ahead when driving. ABS self-diagnosis not completed ABS warning light flashes. Possible cause: The self-diagnosis routine was not completed; the ABS func- tion is not available. The motor- cycle must reach a speed of at least 3.1 mph (5 km/h) before the 3 34 z Displays

be completed. Ride off slowly. It must be noted that the ABS function is not available until the self- diagnosis has been completed. ABS error ABS warning light lights up. Possible cause: The ABS control unit has de- tected an error. The ABS func- tion is not available. Continued driving is possible while taking the failed ABS function into account. Observe additional information on situa- tions which can lead to an ABS error ( 91). Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at an au- thorized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. DTC intervention with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)OE DTC warning light flashes rapidly. The DTC has detected insta- bility at the rear wheel and has reduced the torque. The warn- ing light flashes longer than the DTC intervention lasts. This fea- ture continues to furnish the rider with optical feedback confirm- ing that the system has initiated active closed-loop intervention even after the critical situation has passed. DTC self-diagnosis not completed with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)OE DTC warning light flashes slowly. Possible cause: The self-diagnosis was not com- pleted; the DTC function is not available. The engine must be running and the motorcycle must be moved at a speed of at least 3.1 mph (5 km/h) in order for DTC self-diagnosis to complete. Ride off slowly. It must be noted that the DTC function is not available until the self- diagnosis has been completed. DTC deactivated with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)OE DTC warning light lights up. Possible cause: The DTC system has been deac- tivated by the driver. Switch on DTC. 3 3 z Displays

Steering and ignition lock, tank filler cap lock, stowage compart- ment, seat lock and cases are all operated with the same vehicle key. Lock handlebars If the motorcycle is on the side stand, the surface of the ground will determine whether it is better to turn the handlebars to the left or right. However, the motorcycle is more stable on a level surface with the handlebars turned to the left than with the handlebars turned to the right. On level ground, always turn the handlebars to the left to set the steering lock. Turn handlebars to full left or right lock position. Turn key to position 1 while moving handlebars slightly. Ignition, lights and all electrical circuits switched off. Handlebars locked. Key can now be removed. Switching on ignition Turn key to position 1.

EWS Electronic immobilizer The motorcycle's electronic cir- cuitry monitors the data stored in the key through a ring antenna incorporated in the ignition lock. The engine management system does not enable engine starting until the vehicle key has been recognized as "authorized" for your motorcycle. A further key attached to the same ring as the igni- tion key used to start the engine could "irritate" the electronics, in which case the enabling sig- nal for starting is not issued. The EWS warning is shown in the multifunction display. Always store further vehicle keys separately from the ignition key. If you lose a vehicle key, you can have it disabled by your BMW Motorrad partner. When having a key disabled you should also bring all of the motorcycle's remaining keys with you. The engine can no longer be started using a disabled vehicle key; however, a disabled vehicle key can be enabled again. Replacement and spare keys are only available through an autho- rized BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys are part of an integrated se- curity system, so the retailer is under an obligation to check the legitimacy of all applications for replacement/extra vehicle keys.

The procedure for synchroniz- ing the remote controls is as follows: Switch on ignition. Press and hold down buttons 1 and 2 until LED 3 stops flash- ing. LED 3 flashes for about ten seconds. Release buttons 1 and 2. LED 3 is illuminated. Press button 1 or button 2. LED 3 goes out. 4 6 z Operation

Your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer will be happy to advise you and has the correct clothing for every purpose. Correct loading Overloading and imbal- anced loads can adversely affect the motorcycle's handling. Do not exceed the gross weight limit and observe the loading information. Adjust spring preload, suspen- sion damping rate settings and tire inflation pressures for the current gross vehicle weight. Make sure that weight is uni- formly distributed between right and left. Pack heavy luggage and cargo as low and as close to the cen- ter of the motorcycle as possi- ble. Observe maximum payload and top speed as indicated on label in case. Observe maximum payload and top speed as indicated on label in Topcase. Speed If you ride at high speed, always bear in mind that various bound- ary conditions can adversely af- fect the handling of your motor- cycle: Settings of spring-strut and shock absorber system Imbalanced load Loose clothing Insufficient tire inflation pres- sure Poor tire tread Etc. Risk of poisoning Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless but highly toxic. Inhaling exhaust fumes therefore represents a health hazard and can even cause loss of consciousness with fatal consequences. Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Do not run the engine in closed rooms. 5 76 z Riding

Engine and exhaust system become very hot when the vehicle is in use. There is a risk of burn injuries by contact with hot surfaces. After parking the motorcycle, make sure that nobody comes into contact with the engine and exhaust system. Catalytic converter If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage. For this reason, observe the fol- lowing points: Do not run the fuel tank dry Do not run the engine with the spark-plug cap removed Stop the engine immediately if it misfires Use unleaded fuel only Comply with all specified main- tenance intervals. Unburned fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Note the points listed for protec- tion of the catalytic converter. Danger of overheating Cooling would be inade- quate if the engine were al- lowed to idle for a lengthy period with the motorcycle at a stand- still: overheating would result. In extreme cases, the motorcycle could catch fire. Do not allow the engine to idle unnecessarily. After starting, ride off immediately. Manipulation Modifications of the mo- torcycle (e.g. engine man- agement system, throttle valves, clutch) can cause damage to the affected components and fail- ure of safety-related functions. Damage caused in this way is not covered by the warranty. Do not make any modifications. Checklist Use the following checklist to check important functions, set- tings and wear limits before you ride off: Brakes Front and rear brake fluid levels Clutch function Clutch fluid level Shock absorber setting and spring preload Tread depth and tire inflation pressure Firm seating of cases and lug- gage At regular intervals: Engine oil level (every time you refuel). Brake pad wear (during every third stop for refueling). 5 7 z Riding

system components while driving. The engine must be running and the motorcycle must reach a speed of at least 3 mph (5 km/h) in order for DTC self-diagnosis to complete. DTC warning light flashes slowly. DTC self-diagnosis completed The DTC symbol is no longer displayed. If a DTC error is indicated after the DTC self-diagnosis is com- pleted: It remains possible to continue riding. It must be noted that the DTC function is not avail- able. Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at an au- thorized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Breaking in Engine While running in the motorcy- cle, vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range fre- quently; avoid driving for long periods at a constant speed. Try to do most of your rid- ing during this initial period on twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid- ing highways if possible. Observe the engine run-in speeds. Engine run-in speed <5000 min-1 (Odometer reading 0...186 miles (0...300 km)) Engine run-in speed <6000 min-1 (Odometer reading 186...621 miles (300...1000 km)) no full throttle (Odome- ter reading 0...621 miles (0...1000 km)) Have first run-in check con- ducted after 300 - 750 mls (500 - 1,200 km). Brake pads New brake pads must be run in before they achieve their opti- mum friction force. This initial reduction in braking efficiency can be compensated for by ex- erting greater pressure on the brake levers. New brake pads can extend stopping distance by a sig- nificant margin. Brake early. 5 80 z Riding

face. This must be roughened by riding in a restrained manner at various heel angles until the tires are run in. This running in proce- dure is essential if the tires are to achieve maximum grip. New tires do not provide full tire traction. Accident hazards exist in particular on wet roads and at extreme angles. Always think well ahead and avoid extreme angles. Brakes How do you achieve the shortest stopping distances? The dynamic load distribution be- tween the front and rear wheel changes during braking. The heavier you brake, the greater the weight transfer to the front wheel. Increases in the load at an individual wheel are accom- panied by a rise in the effective braking force that the wheel can provide. To achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the front brake must be applied quickly and with increasing force. This procedure provides ideal exploitation of the extra weight transfer to the front wheel. The clutch should also be disengaged at the same time. With the "forced braking" of- ten practiced in which the brake pressure is generated as quickly as possible and with great force, the dynamic load distribution cannot follow the increased de- celeration and the braking force cannot be completely transferred to the road surface. BMW Motorrad Integral ABS pre- vents the front wheel from lock- ing. Descending mountain passes There is a danger of the brakes fading if you use only the rear brakes when descending mountain passes. Under extreme conditions, the brakes could overheat and suffer severe damage. The BMW integrated braking function ensures that the rear wheel brake is also applied when the handbrake lever is actuated, thus providing protection against overheating. Simply apply the front wheel brake and use the engine brake. Wet, soiled brakes Moisture and dirt on the brake disks and the brake pads result in a decrease in the braking action. Delayed or poorer braking action must be expected in the follow- ing situations: 5 8 z Riding

through puddles. After washing the motorcycle. When driving on roads spread with salt. After working on the brakes due to oil or grease residues. When driving on soiled roads or offroad. Poor braking action due to moisture and dirt. Brake until brakes are dry or clean; clean if necessary. Brake early until the full braking action is available again. Parking your motorcycle Side stand Switch off engine. If the ground is soft or un- even, there is no guaran- tee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. Fold out side stand and park motorcycle. The side stand is designed to support only the weight of the motorcycle. Do not lean or sit on the motorcycle with the side stand extended. If the slope of the road permits, turn the handlebars to the left. On a grade, the motorcycle should always face uphill; se- lect 1st gear. Center stand Switch off engine. If the ground is soft or un- even, there is no guaran- tee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. Excessive movements could result in the center stand retracting, and the vehicle could topple as a result. Do not sit on the motorcycle while it is resting on the center stand. Fold out center stand and jack up motorcycle. Refueling Fuel specifications For optimal fuel economy, the gasoline should be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur content. Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Do not refuel with leaded gaso- line or gasoline with metallic additives, e. g. manganese or Iron. 5 82 z Riding

Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %, i. e., E10, may be used for refueling. Recommended fuel qual- ity Super unleaded, (max. 10 % ethanol, E10) 89 AKI (95 ROZ/RON) 89 AKI Refueling procedure Fuel is highly flammable. Fire at the fuel tank can result in fire and explosion. Do not smoke. Never bring a naked flame near the fuel tank. Fuel attacks plastic sur- faces, making them cloudy or unattractive. Immediately wipe off plastic parts after contact with fuel. Make sure ground is level and firm and park motorcycle. Open protective cap. Unlock cap of fuel tank with ignition key and fold up. Fuel expands when ex- posed to heat. When the tank is overfilled, fuel can escape and get onto the road. This re- sults in a danger of falling. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Refuel with a fuel meeting the specifications below, continu- ing until fuel is no higher than lower edge of filler neck. When refueling after run- ning on reserve, make sure that you top up the tank to a level above reserve, as other- wise the sensor will not be able to register the new level and the 5 8 z Riding

Remove vehicle key and close protective cap. Fastening motorcycle for transport Protect all components along which straps are routed against scratching. For example, use adhesive tape or soft cloths. The motorcycle can tip away to the side and fall over. Secure motorcycle against tip- ping away to the side, prefer- ably with the help of a second person. Push motorcycle onto transport surface, and do not place on side stand or center 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. 5 84 z Riding

motorcycle's characteristics to adapt to the prevailing weather conditions, the road and traffic, and the rider's style of riding: RAIN ROAD DYNAMIC Each riding mode affects the behavior of the motorcycle in a different way. DTC can be switched off in each mode; the explanations below invariably re- fer to conditions with the system switched ON. The last selected riding mode is reactivated au- tomatically after the ignition is switched off and on again. The following always applies: The sportier the selected mode, the more directly the engine out- put can be utilized. At the same time, the level of rider assistance that the DTC system offers de- creases accordingly. Therefore, consider the follow- ing when selecting the riding mode: The sportier the setting, the more demanding the require- ments for the driving skill of the rider are! RAIN The engine output is only par- tially available. Power increase when you open the throttle is reserved, engine response is cor- respondingly soft. The DTC system intervenes early enough to prevent the rear wheel from spinning. On road surfaces with high to medium grip (dry and wet asphalt to dry cobble- stones) the motorcycle remains very stable; movements of the tail are clearly perceptible only on slippery road surfaces (wet bitu- men or wet cobblestones). ROAD In this mode the full engine output is available. Power increase when you open the throttle is more direct than in RAIN mode, the engine responds more rapidly. DTC system intervention is later than in RAIN mode. On road sur- faces with high to medium grip (dry and wet asphalt to dry cob- blestones) the motorcycle re- mains stable. Slight rear-wheel drift is perceptible. Movements of the tail are clearly perceptible on slippery road surfaces (wet bi- tumen or wet cobblestones). DYNAMIC The DYNAMIC mode is the sportiest mode. Power increase and engine re- sponse are the same as in ROAD mode. However, the driver's request is implemented much more directly. 6 88 z Technology in detail

later, which means that even on dry asphalt drifting is possible under sharp acceleration when cornering. Switchover A mode change involving func- tions in the engine management system and the DTC system is possible only when drive torque is not applied to the rear wheel. To obtain this state, the motorcycle must be stopped with the ignition switched on, or the throttle must be turned back, the clutch must be actuated. First the desired driving mode is preselected. The switchover does not take place until the affected systems are in the re- quired state. The selection menu does not disappear in the display until the driving mode has been switched over. Brake system with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Partially integral brake Your motorcycle is equipped with a partially integral brake configu- ration. Both front and rear brakes are applied simultaneously when you pull the handbrake lever. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake. The BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts the braking force distribu- tion between the front and rear wheel brake to the loading of the motorcycle during braking. Spinning of the rear wheel with the front brake pulled (burn out) is made impossible by the integral function. The re- sult may be damage to the rear wheel brake and the clutch. Avoid burn-outs. How does ABS work? The maximum braking force that can be transferred to the road surface is partially dependent on the friction coefficient of the road surface. Gravel, ice, snow and wet roads offer a considerably poorer friction coefficient than a dry, clean asphalt surface. The poorer the friction coefficient of the road surface is, the longer the braking distance will be. If the maximum transferrable braking force is exceeded when the driver increases the brake pressure, the wheels begin to lock and driving stability is lost, and a fall can result. Before this 6 8 z Technology in detail

and adjusts the brake pressure to the maximum transferrable braking force. This enables the wheels to continue to turn and maintains driving stability regard- less of the road surface condi- tion. What happens when rough roads are encountered? Bumpy or rough roads can briefly lead to a loss of contact be- tween the tires and the road surface, until the transferrable braking force is reduced to zero. If braking is carried out in this situation, ABS must reduce the brake pressure to ensure driv- ing stability when restoring con- tact to the road. At this point in time, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS must assume extremely low friction coefficients (gravel, ice, snow) so that the running wheels turn in every imaginable case and the driving stability is ensured. After detecting the actual con- ditions, the system adjusts the optimum brake pressure. How is the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS noticeable to the rider? If the ABS system must reduce the braking forces due to the conditions described above, then vibrations can be felt at the hand- brake lever. If the handbrake lever is pulled, then braking pressure is built up at the rear wheel with the integral function. If the footbrake lever is first actuated after this, the brake pressure already built up can be felt earlier than the counter-pres- sure, than when the footbrake lever is actuated before or to- gether with the handbrake lever. Lifting off rear wheel Even during severe braking, a high level of tire grip can mean that the front wheel does not lock up until very late, if at all. Consequently, ABS does not in- tervene until very late, if at all. Under these circumstances the rear wheel can lift off the ground, and the outcome can be a high- siding situation in which the mo- torcycle can flip over. Heavy braking can lead to the rear wheel lifting off the ground. When braking, bear in mind that the ABS control cannot always be relied on to prevent the rear wheel from lifting off the ground. 6 90 z Technology in detail

characteristics of the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? The BMW Motorrad Integral ABS ensures driving stability on any surface within the limits of driving physics. The system is not op- timized for special requirements resulting under extreme weather conditions offroad or on the race- track. Special situations To detect the tendency of the wheels to lock up, the speeds of the front and rear wheel are compared. If implausible values are detected over a longer period of time, the ABS function is de- activated for safety reasons and an ABS fault is indicated. The condition for a fault code is the completed self-diagnosis. In addition to problems on the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, unusual driving conditions can also lead to a fault code. Unusual driving conditions: Heating up on the main or aux- iliary stand at idle or with gear engaged. Rear wheel locked by the en- gine brake for a lengthy period, for example while descending on a loose surface. Should a fault code result due to one of the driving conditions de- scribed above, the ABS function can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. How important is regular maintenance? Any technical system is al- ways only as good as its maintenance condition. To ensure that the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is in an optimally maintained condition, it is vital that the specified inspection intervals be complied with. Reserves for safety But remember: the potentially shorter braking distances which BMW Motorrad Integral ABS per- mits must not be used as an ex- cuse for careless riding. ABS is primarily a means of ensuring a safety margin in genuine emer- gencies. Be careful in curves! When you apply the brakes on a corner, the motorcycle's weight and momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is unable to counteract their effects. 6 9 z Technology in detail

DTC with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)OE How does DTC work? The BMW Motorrad DTC com- pares the wheel speeds of the front and rear wheel. From the speed difference the slip, and with it the stability reserves on the rear wheel are determined. When a slip limit is exceeded, the engine torque is adapted by the engine management system. Even with DTC, the laws of physics cannot be overrid- den. The driver is always respon- sible for adapting his/her driving style. Do not reduce the additional safety provided with risky driving. What is the design baseline for BMW Motorrad DTC? BMW Motorrad DTC is designed as an assistant system for the rider and for use on public roads. The extent to which the rider af- fects DTC control can be consid- erable (weight shifts when cor- nering, items of luggage loose on the motorcycle), especially when style of riding takes rider and ma- chine close to the limits imposed by physics. The system is not optimized for special requirements resulting under extreme weather condi- tions offroad or on the racetrack. You have the option of deacti- vating the BMW Motorrad DTC system for these circumstances. Even with DTC, the laws of physics cannot be overrid- den. The driver is always respon- sible for adapting his/her driving style. Do not reduce the additional safety provided with risky driving. Special situations As lean angles increase, accel- eration potential is also progres- sively restricted by the laws of physics. This can result in re- duced acceleration when coming out of very tight curves. To detect spinning or slipping away of the rear wheel, the speeds of the front and rear wheel are compared and the angle is considered, for example. If these values are detected to be implausible for a long period, a replacement value is used for the angle and the DTC function is deactivated. In these cases, a DTC error is displayed. The 6 92 z Technology in detail

completed self-diagnosis. The BMW Motorrad DTC can issue an error message under the exceptional riding conditions outlined below. Unusual driving conditions: Driving on the rear wheel (wheelie) for a longer period with DTC deactivated. Rear wheel spinning in place with front brake engaged (burn out). Heating up on an auxiliary stand at idle speed or with gear engaged. If the front wheel loses contact to the ground during extreme acceleration, the DTC reduces the engine torque until the front wheel touches the ground again. In this case, BMW Motorrad rec- ommends turning back the throt- tle grip somewhat to achieve a stable driving state again as quickly as possible. On a slippery surface, the throt- tle grip should never be suddenly turned back completely without pulling the clutch at the same time. The engine braking torque can cause the rear wheel to slip, resulting in an unstable driving state. This case cannot be con- trolled by the BMW Motorrad DTC. Tire Pressure Control TPC/RDC with Tire Pressure Control (TPC/RDC)OE Function A sensor is located in each tire, which measures the air temper- ature and the inflation pressure inside the tire and sends these values to the control unit. The sensors are equipped with a switch, which does not enable the transmission of the measured values until a speed of approx. 19 mph (30 km/h) is reached. The display shows "--" for each tire until the tire-pressure sig- nal is received for the first time. The sensors continue to transmit the measured values for approx. 15 minutes after the motorcycle comes to a stop. If a TPC/RDC control unit is in- stalled, however the wheels have no sensors, then an error mes- sage is output. Temperature compensation The tire inflation pressure is tem- perature dependent, i.e., it in- creases or decreases together with the tire temperature. The tire temperature is dependent on the ambient temperature and on the driving style and duration. 6 9 z Technology in detail

shown temperature-compen- sated in the multifunction display; they refer to a tire temperature of 68 °F (20 °C). No tempera- ture compensation takes place in the inflation pressure testers at filling stations, meaning that the measured tire inflation pressure varies according to tire temper- ature. As a result, the pressure figures indicated by the gauges at filling stations will usually vary from those appearing in the mul- tifunction display. The warmer the tire, the higher the gauge reading by comparison with the reading shown on the display. Adjusting inflation pressure Compare the TPC/RDC value in the multifunction display with the value on the back cover of the Rider's Manual. The difference between the two values must be compensated with the air pres- sure tester at the filling station. Example: According to the Rider's Manual, the tire inflation pressure is to be 42 psi (2.9 bar), however 39 psi (2.7 bar) is shown in the multifunction display. The tester at the filling station indicates 36 psi (2.5 bar). This value must be increased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) to 39 psi (2.7 bar) in order to produce the correct tire inflation pressure. ESA II Electronic Suspension Adjustment with Electronic Suspension Ad- justment (ESA)OE Chassis adjustments The proper loading state must first be selected when the mo- torcycle is stationary according to the motorcycle's load. Depend- ing on the riding mode selected, the damping levels are set on both spring struts and the spring base and spring rate are set on the rear spring strut. If the se- lected riding mode is changed, the spring rate on the rear spring strut is also adjusted in addition to the damping of both spring struts. This enables very precise adjustment of the chassis to all riding conditions, including while riding. The combination of spring base, damping and spring rate ensures the chassis geometry is always appropriate. The static normal position is virtually maintained while riding. The different riding and loading conditions are offset so that the handling of the motorcycle remains constant. 6 94 z Technology in detail

change the spring rate through the combination of a conventional coil spring with a plastic element (Elastogran), the lateral expansion of which can be electrohydraulically limited using a displaceable sleeve. The more the sleeve surrounds the plastic element, the more its expansion is limited and the spring rate increases. The highest spring rate is achieved when the sleeve completely encloses the plastic element and sits on the steel spring. Accordingly, the spring rate is lower, the less the sleeve limits the expansion of the plastic element. 6 9 z Technology in detail
