condition for a fault message is

the completed self-diagnosis.

The BMW Motorrad DTC can

issue an error message under

the exceptional riding conditions

outlined below.

Unusual driving conditions:

Driving on the rear wheel

(wheelie) for a longer period

with DTC deactivated.

Rear wheel spinning in place

with front brake pulled (burn

out).

Heating up on an auxiliary

stand at idle or with gear

engaged.

If the front wheel loses contact

to the ground during extreme

acceleration, the DTC reduces

the engine torque until the front

wheel touches the ground again.

In this case, BMW Motorrad

recommends turning back the

throttle twist grip somewhat to

achieve a stable driving state

again as quickly as possible.

On a slippery surface, the throttle

grip should never be suddenly

turned back completely with-

out pull the clutch at the same

time. The engine braking torque

can cause the rear wheel to slip,

resulting in an unstable driving

state. This case cannot be con-

trolled by the BMW Motorrad

DTC.

Tire Pressure Control

TPC/RDC

with Tire Pressure Control

(TPC/RDC)

OE

Function

A sensor is located in each tire,

which measures the air temper-

ature and the inflation pressure

inside the tire and sends these

values to the control unit.

The sensors are equipped with

a switch, which does not enable

the transmission of the measured

values until a speed of approx.

19 mph (30 km/h) is reached.

The display shows "--" for each

tire until the tire-pressure sig-

nal is received for the first time.

The sensors continue to transmit

the measured values for approx.

15 minutes after the motorcycle

comes to a stop.

If a TPC/RDC control unit is in-

stalled, however the wheels have

no sensors, then an error mes-

sage is output.

Temperature

compensation

The tire inflation pressure is tem-

perature dependent, i.e. it in-

creases or decreases together

with the tire temperature. The

tire temperature is dependent on

the ambient temperature and on

the driving style and duration.
