If the BMW Integral ABS* develops 
a fault, a RESIDUAL BRAKING 
FUNCTION only is available in the

order to apply the brakes, and lever 
travel is longer.

FUNCTION is active, the ABS func-
tion is unavailable in the brake sys-
tem in question.

FUNCTION is active, the integral 
braking function is partially or 
entirely unavailable.

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 25) on the front-
brake lever to position 4.
