Starting – Riding  – Parking
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)*
ABS is out of action:
d Warning:
If ABS is not operational, as 
shown by warning lights 1 and 
2, the safety reserves 
afforded by ABS are not at the 
rider's disposal until the fault 
has been rectified.
There is a risk of dropping the 
machine if the brakes are 
applied too hard and the front 
wheel locks or the rear wheel 
lifts clear of the ground as a 
result of a high level of tyre 
adhesion.
Have the defect rectified im-
mediately by a specialist 
workshop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW dealer. ABS is out of action:
–
at speeds below 6 km/h 
(3 mph) (or 12 km/h (6 mph) if 
handbrake lever was pulled 
beforehand)
– when the ignition is switched 
off
– if the battery is flat or has a 
fault (indicated by ABS warn-
ing lights coming on)
– if there is an ABS fault (
b80)
 The brakes remain fully 
operational, though without 
the reserves of safety 
afforded by ABS.
