Brake system - with BMW Integral ABS
RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION
If the BMW Integral ABS devel-
ops a fault, a RESIDUAL BRAK-
ING FUNCTION only is available
in the brake circuits in question.
The RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is the braking effi-
ciency without the hydraulic
servo assistance of the BMW
Integral ABS. Under these cir-
cumstances, therefore, 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 function is unavailable
in the brake system in question.
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, the integral
braking function is partially or
entirely unavailable.
d Warning:
When the RESIDUAL BRAK-
ING FUNCTION is active, main-
tain a defensive riding style
and proceed immediately to
the nearest specialist work-
shop, preferably an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.
L Note:
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION is active, it is advisa-
ble to set adjuster A (
b 45) on the
front-brake lever to position 4.
The RESIDUAL BRAKE FUNC-
TION is active under the follow-
ing circumstances:
–Ignition off
–Before and during self-diag-
nosis (
b 82)
–Fault in the BMW Integral ABS
(
b 85)
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.
