When you ordered your MaxiScooter, 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 vehicle might not be exactly as illustrated
in this manual on account of country-specific differences. If your Scooter was supplied with equipment not described in this Rider's Manual, you will
find these features described in separate manuals.
All dimensions, weights and power ratings stated in the Rider's Manual are quoted to the standards and comply with the tolerance requirements of the Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN). Versions for individual countries may differ.
The high safety and quality standards of BMW Scooters are maintained by constant development work on designs, equipment and accessories. Because of this, your vehicle may differ from the information supplied in the Rider's Manual. Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely rule out errors and omissions.
We hope you will appreciate that no claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

Status indicators
If the next service is due in less than one month, the date for the next service 1 is shown briefly after the Pre-Ride Check completes. In this example the reading means "July 2013".
If the vehicle covers long distances in the course of the year, under certain circumstances it might be necessary to have it serviced at a date in advance
of the forecast due date. If the countdown distance to the odometer reading at which a service will be due is less than 1000 km, the distance is counted down in steps of 100 km 2 and is shown briefly after the Pre-Ride Check completes.
If service is overdue, the due date or the odometer
reading at which service was due
is accompanied by the 'general' warning light showing yellow. The word "Service" remains permanently visible.
If the service-due indicator appears more than a
month before the service date, the date saved in the instrument cluster must be adjusted. This situation can occur if the battery was disconnected.
ice forming. The display automatically switches from any other mode to the temperature reading when the temperature drops below this threshold for the first time.
with tyre pressure monitoring (RDC)OE
The distance you ride after the fuel level drops to reserve is shown 1 along with symbol 2. This counter is reset and the reading disappears as soon as refuelling brings the total quantity of fuel in the tank back above the reserve level.
If ambient temperature drops below 3 °C the tem-
perature display flashes to draw your attention to the risk of black
The tyre-pressure readings are based on a reference tyre temperature of 20 °C. The front tyre pressure is on the left 1; the reading on the right 2 is the
rear tyre pressure. ":" appears directly after the ignition is switched on, because the sensors do not transmit tyre pressures until the first time the vehicle accelerates to more than 30 km/h.
If "General" warning light 4 flashes red, accompanied
by symbol 3, the reading is a warning. The top arrow beside the tyre symbol indicates a problem with the front wheel, the bottom arrow indicates a problem with the rear wheel.

Status indicators
Oil-level indicator 1 gives you an indication of the engine oil level. You can call up this reading only when the vehicle is at a standstill.
The preconditions for the oil level check are as follows:
Engine at operating temperature.
Engine idling for at least ten seconds.
Side stand retracted. Scooter is upright.
The meanings of the readings that can appear at position 2 are as follows:
OK: Oil level is correct. CHECK: Check the oil level the next time you stop for fuel.
: Oil level cannot be measured (conditions as stated above not satisfied).
The appropriate warning symbol shows if the oil level
is too low.
Mode of presentation
Warnings are indicated by the corresponding warning lights.
Warnings for which there is no dedicated warning light are indicated by 'general' warning light 1 showing in combination with a warning text such as 2 or one of the warning symbols 3 appearing in the multifunction display. The 'general' warning light shows red or yellow, depending on the urgency of the warning.
If two or more warnings occur at the same time, all the appropriate warning lights and warning symbols appear, alternating with warning words as applicable. The possible warnings are listed on the next page.
