Starting Riding Parking
Brake system - with BMW Integral ABS
Safety margin
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances
which BMW Integral ABS per-
mits must not be used as an
excuse for careless riding. ABS
is primarily a means of ensuring
a safety margin in genuine
emergencies.
You have to familiarise your-
self with the new, electroni-
cally assisted braking. Try the
brakes several times when
you take your motorcycle out
for the first time. Find out for
yourself how the brakes feel
Never ride without due care
and attention, or assume that
good fortune will protect you
from your own lack of caution
Keep within the permitted
speed limits
Take care when cornering.
When you apply the brakes on
a corner, the motorcycle's
weight and momentum take
over and even BMW Integral
ABS is unable to counteract
their effects.
