Rain is obvi- ously for wet conditions. The sport setting is for regular road con- ditions. Race is for a race track with DOT race tires fitted. Slick is for the race track with slicks fitted. Both systems can be deacti- vated separately from one another. dynaMic tractiOn cOntrOl (OPtiOnal) The DTC system utilizes a gyroscope (that’s right) under the front seat section working together with the ABS wheel speed sensors. The gyroscope works on a vertical axis (to detect wheelies) and a horizontal axis (to detect lean angle). The ABS wheel speed sensors detect if the rear wheel is accelerating faster than the front. Once activated, and depending on the mode of operation, if the system detects front wheel lift or rear wheel spin up, a signal is sent to the engine management system. The engine management system pro- ceeds to first close the throttle butterflies. Then, if necessary, inter- rupts fuel injection and ignition. The modes operate as follows: • Rain mode- maximum lean angle for acceleration = approx. 38 degrees, no wheelie allowed* • Sport mode- maximum lean angle for acceleration = approx. 45 degrees, no wheelie allowed* • Race mode- maximum lean angle for acceleration = approx. 48 degrees, no wheelie allowed* • Slick mode- maximum lean angle for acceleration = approx. 53 degrees • Leaning angle more than 23 degrees / no wheelie allowed* • Leaning angle less than 23 degrees/wheelie allowed (DTC off for 5 seconds) * depending upon acceleration and road conditions, the front wheel will still lift for varying, limited periods of time and at dif- fering heights. A note from the lawyers: Although DTC/Dynamic Traction Control offers the rider valuable support and therefore represents a very sig- nificant safety factor when accelerating, it is obviously not able—just like Race ABS—to re-define, let alone change, the limits and laws of riding physics. In other words, the rider may still exceed these limits on account of misjudgment or a riding error, which in an extreme case may lead to an accident. e-gas The fuel injection mapping on the new S1000RR is flawless without the slightest hint of surging or hesitation detected. The 48 millime- ter throttle butterflies are controlled by an E-gas or throttle by wire system. While operating in the Rain mode, maximum power output is reduced to 150hp. Throttle response feels like a complete half turn to full throttle. In Sport, Race, or Slick modes full power output of 193hp is available. The ride by wire system provides increasingly more direct throttle response from Sport mode to Race mode with Slick mode becoming a mere quarter turn throttle. The system comes with a safety mechanical link connecting the cable to the electronic control unit enabling the rider to close the throttle but- terfly under all conditions. race aBs (OPtiOnal) The Race ABS system, when active, operates as follows: • Rain mode- ABS on / integrated pressure buildup on / defined deceleration limit / ABS at rear, activated by foot on / rear wheel lift off detection on 52 BMW OWNERS NEWS January 2010 The 2010 BMW S1000RR Opposite Page: The S1000RR is the only super sport machine with DTC Dynamic Traction Control and Race ABS.

The pressure set in the rear wheel circuit is measured by a second pressure sensor and is controlled according to the distribution of brake power required and the brake force generated by the rider. The third pressure sensor in the rear control circuit, finally, mea- sures the brake pressure activated by the rider’s foot. Use of a forth pressure sensor in the front wheel circuit allows further improvement and even finer control of front-wheel brake pressure compared with former BMW Integral ABS II, since the sys- tem is able to compare the actual level of pressure in the control and wheel circuits. As a result, there is now no need for the usual throttle blades, which serve to provide an optimum pressure point and allows perfect dosage of brake power. All pressure sensors are inte- grated in the pressure modulator and the overall configuration of the system with its integrated pressure sensors now also avoids the need for a brake light switch. The use of these four pressure sensors in conjunction with the rear wheel lift-off detector (remember that gyroscope) allows even better distinction than before between a bump on the road and the rear wheel locking.

  • Aftermarket Spark Plug Directory for BMW Motorrad Engines
    Page 1 of 11 Aftermarket spark plug directory for BMW Motorrad engines All BMW motorcycles, model-year 1999 onward © Copyright Nicholas Van den Berg. All rights reserved. UKGSer profile: http://www.ukgser.com/forums/member.php?1044494-Nick-V Introduction and rationale BMW R-series motorcycles dating to approximately 2000 are equipped with standard, commonly-available spark plugs, typically supplied either by Bosch or NGK. However, dating from approximately 2000, a trend began whereby BMW motorcycles began to be equipped with increasingly specialized spark plugs (usually but not always manufactured by NGK) which are typically only available through the dealer network and not through aftermarket channels. Where applicable, this document illustrates the specialized features of the spark plugs in use on BMW Motorrad engines manufactured from 1999 onward, and describes, where applicable, which standard spark plugs in use may be replaced with commonly-available spark plugs of various makes and types. The advantages of this approach are as follows: Reduced cost in terms of spark plug replacement (typically 40% or less of BMW genuine-part replacement cost). Ability to use a variety of standard nickel-electrode, platinum- or iridium-electrode, or racing spark plugs from a variety of manufacturers. The information in this technical article is used and adapted at the readers’ personal discretion, and the reader undertaking the procedures described herein accepts responsibility for any deviation from technical standards which may be stipulated by BMW. Since this repair will be carried out beyond the control of the author, the author accepts no liability whatsoever for any intended or unintended consequences which may arise as a result of following steps contained in this article.
