the air filter element for clogging
at shorter intervals; clan or re-
place as necessary.
Operation in very dusty condi-
tions (desert, steppes, or the like)
necessitates the use of air filter
elements specially designed for
conditions of this nature.
Brakes
How can stopping
distance be minimised?
Load distribution shifts dynam-
ically between the front and rear
wheels when the vehicle brakes.
The sharper the vehicle decel-
erates, the more load is shifted
to the front wheel. The higher
the wheel load, the more braking
force can be transmitted without
the wheel locking.
To optimise stopping distance,
apply the front brakes rapidly and
keep on increasing the force you
apply to the brake lever. This
makes the best possible use of
the dynamic increase in load at
the front wheel. Remember to
pull the clutch at the same time.
In the "panic braking situations"
that are trained so frequently
braking force is applied as rap-
idly as possible and with the
rider's full force applied to the
brake levers; under these circum-
stances the dynamic shift in load
distribution cannot keep pace
with the increase in deceleration
and the tyres cannot transmit the
full braking force to the surface
of the road. Under these circum-
stances the front wheel can lock
up.
BMW Motorrad ABS prevents
the front wheel from locking up.
Descending mountain
passes
There is a danger of the
brakes fading if you use
only the rear brakes when des-
cending mountain passes. Under
extreme conditions, the brakes
could overheat and suffer severe
damage.
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.
Wet and dirty brakes
Wetness and dirt on the brake
discs and the brake pads dimin-
ish braking efficiency.
Delayed braking action or poor
braking efficiency must be
reckoned with in the following
situations:
Riding in the rain or through
puddles of water.
After the motorcycle has been
washed.
