Safety marginBut remember: the potentially shorter
braking distances which BMW Inte-
gral 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.
– You have to familiarise yourself with the new, electronically assisted
braking. Try the brakes several times
when you take your motorcycle out
for the first time. Find out for your-
self how the brakes feel.
– Never ride without due care and attention, or assu me that good for-
tune will protect you from your own
foolhardiness
– Keep within the permitted speed
limits – Take care when co
rnering. When
you apply the brakes on a corner, the
motorcycle's weight and momentum
take over and even BMW Integral
ABS is unable to counteract their
effects.

RESIDUAL BRAKING
FUNCTION
If the BMW Integral ABS develops a fault, a
RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNCTION only
is available in the brak e circuits in question.
The RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNCTION
is the braking efficiency without the hydraulic
servo assistance of the BMW Integral ABS.
Under these circumstances, therefore, you
must apply CONSIDERABLY higher pres-
sure to the brake levers in question in order to
apply the brakes, and lever travel is longer.
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNC-
TION is active, the ABS function is unavail-
able in the brake system in question.
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNC-
TION is active, the in tegral braking function
is partially or entirely unavailable.
d Warning:
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING
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 FUNC-
TION is active, it is advisable to set adjuster A
(
b 27) on the front-brake lever to position 4.
The RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNCTION
is active under the following circumstances:
– Ignition off
– Before and during self-diagnosis (
b 72)
– Fault in the BMW Integral ABSOE
(b 75)
L Note:
When the RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNC-
TION is active for both brake circuits, the
noise of the pump is no longer audible when
you operate the brake levers.
