ABS self-diagnosis

completed

The ABS warning light goes

out.

If an indicator showing an ABS

fault appears when ABS self-dia-

gnosis completes:

You can continue to ride. Bear

in mind that the ABS function

is not available.

Have the fault rectified as

quickly as possible by a

specialist workshop, preferably

an authorised BMW Motorrad

dealer.

Running in

The first 1000 km

While running in the motor-

cycle, vary the throttle opening

and engine-speed range fre-

quently; avoid riding at constant

engine rpm for prolonged peri-

ods.

Try to do most of your rid-

ing during this initial period on

twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-

ing high-speed main roads and

highways if possible.

Comply with the rpm limits for

running in.

Running-in speed

max 5000 min

-1

(for the first

1000 km)

Do not omit the first inspection

after 500 - 1200 km.

Brake pads

New brake pads have to bed

down before they can achieve

their optimum friction levels. You

can compensate for this initial re-

duction in braking efficiency by

exerting greater pressure on the

levers.

New brake pads can ex-

tend stopping distance by a

significant margin.

Apply the brakes in good time.

Tyres

New tyres have a smooth sur-

face. This must be roughened by

riding in a restrained manner at

various heel angles until the tyres

are run in. This running in pro-

cedure is essential if the tyres are

to achieve maximum grip.

Tyres do not have their full

grip when new and there

is a risk of accidents at extreme

angles of heel.

Avoid extreme angles of heel.
