Safety marginBut remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances
which BMW Integral ABS per-
mits must not be used as an
excuse for careless riding. ABS
is primarily a means of ensuring
a safety margin in genuine
emergencies.
– You have to familiarise your-self with the new, electroni-
cally assisted braking. Try the
brakes several times when
you take your motorcycle out
for the first time. Find out for
yourself how the brakes feel.
– Never ride without due care
and attention, or assume that
good fortune will protect you
from your own foolhardiness
– Keep within the permitted
speed limits – Take care when cornering.
When you apply the brakes on
a corner, the motorcycle's
weight and momentum take
over and even BMW Integral
ABS is unable to counteract
their effects.

RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION
If the BMW Integral ABS* develops
a fault, a RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION only is available in the
brake circuits in question.
The RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is the braking efficiency
without the hydraulic servo assist-
ance of the BMW Integral ABS*.
Under these circumstances, there-
fore, you must apply
CONSIDERABLY higher pressure
to the brake levers in question in
order to apply the brakes, and lever
travel is longer.
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, the ABS func-
tion is unavailable in the brake sys-
tem in question.
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, the integral
braking function is partially or
entirely unavailable.
d Warning:
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, maintain a
defensive riding style and pro-
ceed immediately to the nearest
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer.
L Note:
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, it is advisable
to set adjuster A (
b 27) on the front-
brake lever to position 4.
The RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active under the fol- lowing circumstances:
– Ignition off
– Before and during self-diagnosis
(
b 72)
– Fault in the BMW Integral ABS* (
b 75)
L Note:
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active for both brake
circuits, the noise of the pump is no
longer audible when you operate
the brake levers.
