No claims will be entertained as a result of such discrepancies. Dimensions, weights, fuel consumption and performance data are quoted to the customary tolerances. The right to modify designs, equipment and accessories is reserved. [. . . ] A naked flame close to the fuel tank can cause a fire or explosion. Never bring a naked flame near the fuel tank. Fuel escaping from an overfilled tank could make its way onto the road surface. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Use the ignition key to unlock the fuel filler cap and pop the cap open. Recommended fuel grade Premium plus unleaded 98 ROZ/RON 91 AKI alternative fuel grade Premium unleaded (slight power- and consumptionrelated restrictions) 95 ROZ/RON 89 AKI Usable fuel capacity approx. 3 l Press the fuel tank cap down firmly to close. Remove the key and close the protective cap. Make sure that the motorcycle cannot topple sideways. Push the motorcycle onto the transportation flat and hold it in position: do not place it on the side stand or centre stand. 5 65 Secure the motorcycle for transportation Make sure that all components that might come into contact with straps used to secure the motorcycle are adequately protected against scratching. Use adhesive tape or soft cloths, for example, for this purpose. Risk of damaging components. Take care not to trap components such as brake lines or wires. The motorcycle can topple and fall on its side. At the front, secure the straps to the handlebars on both sides. Riding z 5 66 Pass the straps through the leading link and tighten the straps. Riding z At the rear, secure the straps to the rear footrests on both sides and tighten the straps. Tighten all the straps uniformly; the motorcycle's suspension should be compressed as tightly as possible front and rear.

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. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake. 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.
