Care
Do not use steam jet cleaners
or high-pressure cleaners.cPlasticsClean plastic parts with water
and BMW plastic care
emulsion. This includes in
particular:
– Windscreens
– Headlight lenses made of
plastic
– Covering glass of the
instrument cluster
– Black, unpainted parts
If plastic parts are
cleaned using unsuitable
cleaning agents, the surfaces
can be damaged.
Do not use cleaning agents
that contain alcohol, solvents
or abrasives to clean plastic
parts. "Fly sponges" or spong-
es with hard surfaces can also
lead to scratches.cSoften resilient dirt and
insects by applying a wet
cloth.c
WindscreenRemove dirt and insects with a
soft sponge and lots of water.
Fuel and chemical
solvents attack the
windscreen.
Do not use cleaning agents.cChromeEspecially in the case of road
salt, carefully clean chrome
with plenty of water and BMW
vehicle shampoo. Use chrome
polish for additional treatment.RadiatorClean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the
engine due to inadequate cooling. For example, use a
garden hose with low water
pressure.
Cooling fins can be bent
easily.
When cleaning the radiator,
ensure that the fins are not
bent.c
Paint careRegular washing of the motor-
cycle counteracts the long-
term effects of materials that
damage the paint, especially if
your motorcycle is ridden in
areas with high air pollution or
natural sources of dirt, e.g.
tree resins or pollen.
However, remove particularly
aggressive materials immedi-
ately; otherwise changes in
the paint or discolouration can
occur. These include, e.g.,
spilt fuel, oil, grease, brake

E3BMW Motorrad Integral ABS
To achieve the shortest
braking distance, it is neces-
sary to apply the front brake
gradually and with increasing
force. This makes best use of
the dynamic increase in load
on the front wheel. At the
same time, the clutch should
be disengaged.
In emergency braking as it is
often taught, in which the
brake pressure is generated
as quickly as possible and with
all possible force, the dynamic
load distribution cannot follow
the increasing deceleration
and the braking force cannot
be completely transferred to
the road. The ABS has to
intervene to ensure that the
front wheel does not lock up;
this reduces the brake pres-
sure and the braking distance
is extended.What happens if ABS control
fails?
A fault in BMW Motorrad
Integral ABS is indicated by a
corresponding warning dis-
play in the instrument cluster.
If only ABS control fails, the
Integral system and the brake
servo action remain opera-
tional. If these systems also
fail, the residual brake function
is applied. In this case, the
forces to be applied to the
brake levers will be signifi-
cantly higher and the lever
travel required will be longer.
The residual brake function is
a mechanical function and is
always available in the event
of the failure of the BMW
Motorrad Integral ABS,
whatever the battery condi-
tion. It meets all requirements
of legislation around the world on the design of brakes for
motor vehicles and allows the
rider to brake the motorcycle.
The following notes must be
observed for riding with the
residual braking function:
• set the brake lever to
maximum travel
• always brake with both front
and rear brakes
• where it is safe to do so, try
out the brakes so that you
can learn the brakes'
response characteristics
• be aware of the prevailing
road conditions and adapt
your braking force
accordingly
• since this is an emergency-
run function, you should visit
a specialist workshop, or
better still a BMW Motorrad
dealer, as quickly as
possibleInfo_I_ABS_en_xx.fm Seite 3 Dienstag, 19. Juli 2005 2:48 14
