two sets of wheels with TPC

sensors can be driven. If a

TPC control unit is installed,

however the wheels have no

sensors, then an error mes-

sage is output.

Temperature

compensation

The tire pressures are shown

temperature-compensated

in the multifunction display;

they refer to a tire air temper-

ature of 68 °F (20 °C). As the

air-pressure testers at filling

stations show a temperature-

dependent tire pressure, they

do not match the values in-

dicated in the multifunction

display in most cases.

Air pressure ranges

The TPC control unit distin-

guishes between three air

pressure ranges matched to

the motorcycle:

Air pressure within the per-

missible tolerance.

Air pressure at the limits of

the permissible tolerance.

Air pressure outside the

permissible tolerance.

General brake system

Descending mountain

passes

There is a danger of the

brakes fading if you use

only the rear brakes when de-

scending mountain passes.

Under extreme conditions, the

brakes could overheat and

suffer severe damage.

Use both front and rear

brakes, and make use of the

engine's braking effect as

well.

Wet brakes

After the motorcycle has

been washed, ridden

through water or ridden in the

rain, the brake disks and pads

might be wet and the brakes

might not take effect immedi-

ately.

Brake early until the brakes

are dry or braked until dry.

Salt on brakes

The full braking effect

can be delayed if the

motorcycle is ridden on salt-

covered roads and the brakes

are not applied for some time.

Brake early until the salt layer

of the brake disks and brake

pads has been braked off.
