General
Any attempt to move the motorcycle, change its position, start it without your permission, or disconnect the battery will trigger the alarm. The sensitivity of the system is set in such a way that slight vibrations of the motorcycle will not trigger a false alarm.
Once you have activated the alarm, any attempted theft is indicated acoustically by the siren and visually by all four turn indicators flashing at the same time, and the integrated immobiliser suppresses engine start.
Your anti-theft alarm is combined with a central locking system that enables you to open and close the cases, the topcase, and the radio compartment by remote control.
It also enables you to switch on the map-reading light and the ground lights automatically. You can customise the antitheft alarm in certain ways to suit your needs and preferences.
L Note:
In order to protect the motorcycle’s battery and ensure that the engine can be started, the alarm system deactivates itself automatically a certain number of days after being activated, although it always remains active for at least 7 days.

L Note:
The signals from your remote control unit could be disrupted by interference from other radio systems or devices transmitting on the same frequency.
If you encounter this problem, try pointing the remote control unit at the motorcycle from a different direction.

Overview and operation

The anti-theft alarm is supplied complete with a sealed envelope containing a code card 1. The number stated on the code card (remove the adhesive label) is the code for deactivating the anti-theft alarm by means of the ignition (b 17).
It is advisable to keep the code card with the vehicle registration papers, and carry both with you when you ride the motorcycle.
The code number is stamped in encrypted form on the anti-theft alarm and it is also printed on an adhesive label 2 supplied with the anti-theft alarm. You should affix the label at a concealed location on the motorcycle.
If you forget the code and are unable to find the code card, an authorised BMW motorcycle dealer will be able to forward the encrypted number to BMW on your behalf and obtain the correct code.
Activation
1 2
Once the immobiliser has been activated the engine will refuse to start even if an authorised key is used for the start attempt. You can tell whether the immobiliser is activated by switching on the ignition and observing LED 5; if the immobiliser is active it will light up when the pre-ride check completes.

Immobiliser |
L Note:
The remote control unit activates both the immobiliser and the alarm function.
It is also possible to have the immobiliser activated automatically when the ignition is switched off (default) without activation of the alarm function (b 26).
Activation
The immobiliser is activated
•by pressing button 1 on the remote control unit twice (alarm function is also acti-
vated) or
•by switching off the ignition, if programmed (b 26)
When you switch off the ignition, 50 seconds elapse before the activation phase.
Activation

Immobiliser
Activation of the immobiliser after ignition off but without activation of the alarm function is confirmed
•by the turn indicators flashing once
and
•by the alarm tone sounding once, if programmed (b 26)
Activation of the immobiliser with activation of the alarm function by means of the remote control unit is confirmed
•by the indicators flashing twice
and
•by the alarm tone sounding twice, if programmed (b 26)
If confirmation takes the form of the alarm tone sounding four times, this is to indicate that the anti-theft alarm's internal rechargeable battery is discharged. The rechargeable battery of the anti-theft alarm is charged through the on-board electrical system, which means that this problem might be due to a discharged starter battery. When the anti-theft alarm's internal battery is discharged the alarm will not be triggered by an attempt to disconnect the starter battery.
Contact your authorised BMW motorcycle dealer if the alarm tone sounds four times on activation even after a lengthy journey.
Deactivation

9 Immobiliser
Deactivating the immobiliser with the remote control unit
The immobiliser is deactivated
•by pressing button 2 on the remote control unit once (if the immobiliser was activated automatically beforehand when you switched off the ignition, it is reactivated
30 seconds later).
If confirmation takes the form of the alarm tone sounding four times, this is to indicate that the voltage in the on-board electricity supply has dropped below a predefined threshold. In this case, recharge the motorcycle's starter battery (b Rider's Manual).
Deactivation is confirmed
•by the turn indicators flashing once
and
•by the alarm tone sounding once, if programmed (b 26)
Deactivating the immobiliser without the remote control unit
The procedure is the same as that for deactivating the alarm function without the remote control unit (b 15).
