What are the design

characteristics of the

BMW Motorrad Integral

ABS?

The BMW Motorrad Integral ABS

ensures driving stability on any

surface within the limits of driving

physics. The system is not op-

timized for special requirements

resulting under extreme weather

conditions offroad or on the race-

track.

Special situations

To detect the tendency of the

wheels to lock up, the speeds

of the front and rear wheel are

compared. If implausible values

are detected over a longer period

of time, the ABS function is de-

activated for safety reasons and

an ABS fault is indicated. The

condition for a fault message is

the completed self-diagnosis.

In addition to problems on the

BMW Motorrad Integral ABS,

unusual driving conditions can

also lead to a fault message.

Unusual driving conditions:

Heating up on the main or aux-

iliary stand at idle or with gear

engaged.

Rear wheel locked by the en-

gine brake for a lengthy period,

for example while descending

on a loose surface.

Should a fault message result

due to one of the driving condi-

tions described above, the ABS

function can be reactivated by

switching the ignition off and

then on again.

How important is regular

maintenance?

Any technical system is al-

ways only as good as its

maintenance condition.

To ensure that the BMW Motor-

rad Integral ABS is in an opti-

mally maintained condition, it is

vital that the specified inspection

intervals be complied with.

Reserves for safety

But remember: the potentially

shorter braking distances which

BMW Motorrad Integral ABS per-

mits must not be used as an ex-

cuse for careless riding. ABS is

primarily a means of ensuring a

safety margin in genuine emer-

gencies.

Take care when cornering. When

you apply the brakes on a cor-

ner, the motorcycle's weight and

momentum take over and even

BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is

unable to counteract their effects.
