with great force, dynamic load
distribution lags behind the pro-
gressive increases in deceleration
rate and the braking force cannot
be completely transferred to the
road surface. This would cause
the front wheel to lock up.
Locking up of the front wheel
is prevented by BMW Motorrad
ABS.
Descending mountain
passes
WARNING
Braking only with the rear-
wheel brake when descend-
ing mountain passes
Reduced of braking action, de-
struction of the brakes caused by
overheating
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.
Wet, soiled brakes
Moisture and dirt on the brake
rotors and the brake pads result

tion.

must be expected in the follow-
ing situations:
When driving in the rain and
through puddles.
After washing the vehicle.
When driving on roads spread
with salt.
After working on the brakes
due to oil or grease residues.
During riding on dirty roads.

clean; clean if necessary.
Brake early until the full braking
action is available again.
