[. . . ] Do not attempt burn-outs. How does ABS work? The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors hat include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean, dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance. If the rider increases braking pressure to the extent that braking force exceeds the maximum transferrable limit, the wheels start to lock and the motorcycle loses its directional stability; a fall is imminent. Before this situation can occur, ABS intervenes and adapts braking pressure to the maximum transferrable braking force, so the wheels continue to turn and directional stability is maintained irrespective of the condition of the road surface. Engineering details Partially integral brakes Your motorcycle is equipped with partially integral brakes. Both front and rear brakes are applied when you pull the handbrake lever. While the brakes are slowing the motorcycle, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts braking-force distribution between front and rear brakes to suit the load on the motorcycle. The integral braking function makes it very difficult to spin the rear wheel by opening the throttle with the front brake applied to keep the motorcycle stationary (burn-out). Attempted What are the effects of surface irregularities? Humps and surface irregularities can cause the wheels to lose contact temporarily with the road surface; if this happens the braking force that can be transmitted to the road can drop to zero. If the brakes are applied under these circumstances the ABS has to reduce braking force to ensure that directional stability is maintained when the wheels regain contact with the road surface. At this instant the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS must assume an extremely low coefficient of friction, so that the wheels will continue to rotate under all imaginable circumstances, because this is the precondition z for ensuring directional stability. As soon as is registers the actual circumstances, the system reacts instantly and adjusts braking force accordingly to achieve optimum braking. depressed either before or at the same time as the brake lever is pulled. What is the design baseline for BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? Within the limits imposed by physics, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS ensures directional stability on any surface. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track. 6 69 Rear wheel lift Under very severe and sudden deceleration, however, under certain circumstances it is possible that the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS will be unable to prevent the rear wheel from lifting clear of the ground. If this happens the outcome can be a highsiding situation in which the motorcycle can flip over. When you brake, bear in mind that ABS control cannot be relied on in all circumstances to prevent the rear wheel from lifting clear of the ground. If the ABS system has to reduce braking force on account of the circumstances described above, vibration is perceptible through the handbrake lever. When the handbrake lever is pulled, brake pressure is also built up at the rear wheel by the integral function. If the brake pedal is depressed after the handbrake lever is pulled, the brake pressure built up beforehand is perceptible as counter-pressure sooner than is the case when the brake pedal is Special situations The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared as one means of detecting a wheel's incipient tendency to lock. If the system registers implausible values for a lengthy period the ABS function is deactivated for safety reasons and an ABS fault message is issued. In addition to problems with the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, Engineering details z What feedback does the rider receive from the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? 6 70 Engineering details exceptional riding conditions can lead to a fault message being issued. Exceptional riding conditions: Heating up with the motorcycle on the centre stand or an auxiliary stand, engine idling or with a gear engaged. Rear wheel locked by the engine brake for a lengthy period, for example while descending on a loose or slippery surface. If a fault message is issued on account of exceptional riding conditions as outlined above, you can reactivate the ABS function by switching the ignition off and on again. What significance devolves on regular maintenance? Invariably, a technical system cannot perform beyond the abilities dictated by its level of maintenance.
