What significance

devolves on regular

maintenance?

Invariably, a technical sys-

tem cannot perform beyond

the abilities dictated by its level

of maintenance.

In order to ensure that the BMW

Motorrad Integral ABS is always

maintained in optimum condition,

it is essential for you to comply

strictly with the specified inspec-

tion intervals.

Reserves for safety

The potentially shorter braking

distances which BMW Motorrad

Integral ABS permits must not be

used as an excuse for careless

riding. ABS is primarily a means

of ensuring a safety margin in

genuine emergencies.

Take care when cornering. When

you apply the brakes on a corner,

the motorcycle's weight and

momentum take over and even

BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is

unable to counteract their effects.

How does DTC work?

The BMW Motorrad DTC com-

pares the speed of rotation of the

front wheel and the rear wheel.

The differential is used to com-

pute slip as a measure of the

reserves of stability available at

the rear wheel. If slip exceeds a

certain limit the electronic engine

management system intervenes,

adapting engine torque accord-

ingly.

Even DTC is constrained

by the laws of physics. In-

variably, the rider bears respons-

ibility for assessing road and

traffic conditions and adopting his

or her style of riding accordingly.

Do not take risks that would neg-

ate the additional safety offered

by this system.

What is the design

baseline for BMW

Motorrad DTC?

BMW Motorrad DTC is designed

as an assistant system for the

rider and for use on public roads.

The extent to which the rider af-

fects DTC control can be consid-

erable (weight shifts when cor-

nering, items of luggage loose on

the motorcycle), especially when

style of riding takes rider and ma-

chine close to the limits imposed

by physics.

The system is not optimised for

special requirements that apply

under extreme competitive situ-

ations off-road or on the track.
