Riding mode
Selection
Four ride modes enable the mo-
torcycle's characteristics to adapt
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions, the road and traffic, and
the rider's style of riding:
RAIN
SPORT (standard mode)
RACE
SLICK (only with coding plug
inserted).
with reduced power output,
79 kW
OE
The following applies to
motorcycles with power
reduction: Once the coding plug
has been inserted, the choice of
riding modes includes SPORT
and RACE with increased engine
power.
Adapt your style of riding accord-
ingly to allow for the markedly
more sporty handling and per-
formance with considerably more
engine power.
It is important for the rider in-
tending to use these more sporty
ride modes to familiarise himself/
herself with their characteristics.
The following applies to
motorcycles with power
reduction: Inserting the cod-
ing plug voids homologation for
riding the motorcycle on public
roads.
Do not use the coding plug for
riding these vehicles on public
roads.
Each of these modes produces
perceptible differences in the way
the motorcycle behaves. ABS
and/or DTC can be switched off
in each mode: the explanations
below invariably apply to the be-
haviour of the motorcycle with
these systems active. The mode
last selected is automatically re-
activated after the ignition has
been switched off and then on
again. However, the ABS and/or
DTC systems remain deactivated
only if the coding plug is inser-
ted.
The RAIN , SPORT and RACE
modes are set up for riding with
standard tyres recommended
by BMW Motorrad. The SLICK
mode is for racing slicks and sur-
faces with a very high level of
grip.
Consequently, you must always
bear the following in mind with
regard to your selection of a ride
mode: the sportier the setting,
the greater the challenge to your
riding skill!
