First time out
Handling your motorcycle
safely
Each motorcycle has a character
all its own. It is time now for you to
familiarise yourself with the way
your own motorcycle behaves:
acceleration
–roadholding
cornering
–braking
These are all things you need to
become familiar with.
Please remember too that if the
motorcycle has not yet covered
1,000 kilometres (600 miles), the
engine is not yet fully run in.
e Attention:
BMW Integral ABS incorporates
a brake booster, so braking effi-
ciency is significantly higher
than with conventional brake
systems.
d Warning:
The tyres need to cover a cer-
tain distance before they ac-
quire their full road grip (b 74).
If you ride at high speed, always
bear in mind that various boun
-
dary conditions such as the
spring preload setting and the
shock-absorber setting, an
unbalanced luggage load, loose
clothing, low tyre pressure, poor
tyre tread, and so on, can affect
the handling of your motorcycle.
