When you ordered your BMW motorcycle, you chose various items of custom equipment.
This Rider’s Manual describes optional extras (OE) offered by BMW and selected optional accessories (OA). This explains why the manual may also contain descriptions of equipment which you have not ordered. Please note, too, that your motorcycle might not be exactly as illustrated in this manual on account of countryspecific differences.

Currency
The high safety and quality standards of BMW motorcycles are maintained by constant development work on designs, equipment and accessories. Because of this, your motorcycle may differ from the information supplied in the Rider’s Manual. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. We hope you will appreciate that no
claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.
BMW Service
Advanced technology requires specially adapted methods of maintenance and repair.
If maintenance and repair work is performed inex-
pertly, it could result in consequential damage and thus constitute a safety risk. BMW recommends that you have the necessary work on your motorcycle performed either by an authorised BMW motorcycle dealer or by a workshop that operates to BMW specifications and employs suitably trained personnel.c
Your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer can provide information on the specified Service, Inspection and Annual Inspection work needed.
Have all maintenance and repair work carried out confirmed in the «Service» chapter (b 148) in this manual.
Authorised BMW motorcycle dealers are supplied with the latest technical information and have the necessary technical know-how. Consequently, we recommend that you contact your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer if you have any questions regarding your motorcycle.

–helmet
–motorcycling jacket and trousers
–gloves
–boots
This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year. Your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer will be glad to advise you on the correct clothing for every purpose.

Electronic immobiliser
Immobiliser symbol is displayed.
The key being used is not authorised for starting, or communication between key and engine electronics is disrupted.
•Remove all other vehicle keys located near the ignition key (b 34).
•Use the reserve key.
•Have the defective key replaced, preferably by an authorised BMW motorcycle dealer (b 36).
Fuel reserve
General warning light lights up yellow.
Fuel reserve symbol is displayed and flashes
10 times.
The fuel tank contains a fuel reserve of a maximum of
4 litres. The on-board computer shows the estimated residual operating range (b 39) .
Lack of fuel can result in the engine cutting out un-
expectedly and this could result in a hazardous situation. Do not run the fuel tank dry.c
Lack of fuel could result in misfiring and this in
turn could damage the catalytic converter.
Do not run the fuel tank dry.c
• Refuel.
Oil temperature
General warning light lights up red.
Oil temperature gauge flashes 10 times.
Oil temperature too high.
Continuing to ride with the engine overheated can
result in engine damage.c
•If possible, ride in the partload range to cool down the engine.
•Switch off the engine if you are caught in a traffic jam.
Engine electronics
General warning light lights up yellow.
Engine electronics symbol is displayed.
Fault in the engine electronics. In exceptional cases, the engine stops and can no longer be started. Otherwise, the engine runs in emergency operating mode.
You can continue to ride, but bear in mind that the usual engine output is not available.
The engine is running in emergency operating
mode. Engine power might be reduced and this can cause hazardous situations, particularly if you attempt to overtake other road users.
Adapt your style of riding to the reduced level of engine power.c
Engine oil pressure
General warning light lights up red.
Engine oil pressure symbol is displayed.
Insufficient engine oil pressure The «engine oil pressure» warning indicates that there is no oil pressure or that the oil
pressure in the lubricating oil circuit is too low; under no circumstances is it to be regarded as fulfilling the function of an oil gauge. The warning must disappear when oil pressure builds up 1 to 2 seconds after the engine starts.
If the «engine oil pressure» warning is displayed while the motorcycle is being ridden, take account of the traffic situation and:
•Disengage the gear.
•Operate the kill switch.
•Bring the motorcycle safely to a halt.
•Check the engine oil level.
There are other enginerelated problems besides
a low engine-oil level that can trigger the «engine-oil pressure» warning. Continuing to ride in these cases can cause engine damage.
If the «engine oil pressure» warning is issued, do not continue to ride if a check shows that the engine oil level is correct.c
•Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.

On level ground, always turn the handlebars to the left and lock them in this position.c
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser helps protect your BMW motorcycle from theft, and this enhanced security is at your disposal without any need for you to set parameters or activate additional systems. The engine of a motorcycle fitted with this electronic immobiliser can be started only with the keys that belong to the vehicle. You can also have your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer bar individual keys, for example if a key goes missing. The engine cannot be started with a key that has been barred.
In-key security
An electronic component is integrated into each of your keys. The motorcycle’s electronics exchange certain continuously changing signals with the electronics in the key; these signals are specific to your motorcycle and they are transmitted via the ring aerial in the ignition lock. The ignition is not enabled for starting until the key has been recognised as authorised for your motorcycle.
A spare key attached to the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine could «upset» the electronics, in which case the enabling signal for starting is not issued.The «EWS» warning is displayed in
the multifunction display. Always keep the spare key separately from the ignition key.c
Replacement and extra keys
You can obtain replacement/ extra keys only through an authorised BMW motorcycle dealer. The keys are part of an integrated security system, so the dealer is under an obligation to check the legitimacy of all applications for replacement/ extra keys.
If you want to have a lost key barred, you have to bring with you all the keys that belong to the motorcycle. A key that has been barred can subsequently be cleared and reactivated for use.

On-board computerOE
Selecting readings |
3 |
|
• Switch on the ignition. |
39 |
|
Operation |
||
• Briefly press BC button 1. |
»Each time you press the button, display field 2 cycles through the following readings:
–Residual range
–Average speed
–Average consumption
–Oil level
–Ambient temperature
Residual range
Residual range is calculated on the basis of your style of riding and the amount of fuel left in the tank; the reading indicates the estimated distance you can travel before the fuel supply runs out.
If the motorcycle is resting on its side stand, the level in the tank cannot be measured correctly, so this estimate of residual operating range will be inaccurate.
When you refuel (ignition switched off) the on-board computer does not register the increase in fuel level unless more than 2 litres are added to the fuel already in the tank. The tank must contain at least 5 litres of fuel for the fuelgauge reading and the residual range to be recalculated.
The residual range is only an approximate reading. Consequently, you should not try to use the full residual range before refuelling.
Average speed
Elapsed time since the last «RESET» is used as the basis for calculating average speed. Times during which the engine was stopped are excluded from the calculation.
Resetting average speed Resetting average consumption
•Repeatedly press BC button 1 until the average speed appears in the display.
•Hold the BC button down for at least 2 seconds (RESET).
»The display shows «—.- km/h»
•Repeatedly press the BC button until the average consumption appears in the display.
•Hold the BC button down for at least 2 seconds (RESET).
»The display shows «—.- l/100 km»
Oil level check
Average consumption
Average consumption is calculated by dividing the distance covered since the last RESET by the corresponding amount of fuel used.
The «Oil» reading gives you an indication of the engine oil level. The preconditions for the oil level check are as follows:
–Engine idling (for at least 10 seconds)
–Engine at operating temperature
–Side stand retracted
The readings mean:
Oil level is correct.
Check the oil level (b 98).
Oil level cannot be measured (conditions as
stated above not satisfied).
The most recently measured level is displayed for 5 seconds when you next switch on the ignition.
The oil-level sensor might be faulty if «Check the oil
level» appears in the display and does not go out, although a check of the oil sight glass shows that the oil level is correct.
Under these circumstances, contact your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer.c
Ambient temperature
The current ambient temperature is displayed. An ice warning (b 26) appears if the ambient-temperature reading drops below 3 °C. The display automatically switches from any other mode to the temperature reading when the temperature drops below this threshold for the first time. The reading flashes until you select some other display mode.
