Equipment
When you ordered your BMW Motorrad, 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 country-specific differences.
If your BMW is equipped with options or accessories not described in this Rider's Manual, then this equipment is described in a separate operating manual.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and outputs in the Rider's Manual refer to the Deutsche Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN) and comply with its tolerance regulations. Versions for individual countries may differ.
Currentness of this manual
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. In addition, BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee the total absence of errors. We hope you will appreciate that no claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

Fuel capacity
The vertical bar under the gas pump symbol indicates
the remaining fuel quantity. When the fuel in the tank is topped up the gauge briefly shows the original level, before the reading is updated.
Gear indicator
The gear engaged or N for neutral appears on the
display.
If no gear is engaged, the 'neutral' indicator light also
lights up.
Coolant temperature
The vertical bar under the temperature symbol shows
the coolant temperature level.
Service display
If the time remaining until the next service lies within a month,
the service date is briefly displayed following the pre-ride
check. The month and year are shown with the SERVICE let-
tering; in this example the display means "March 2007."
If the motorcycle is driven long distances annually, it is possible that earlier service is required. If the odometer reading for the earlier service lies within 600 miles (1,000 km), the remaining miles (kilometers) are counted down
in 60-mile (100-km) steps and briefly displayed following the pre-ride check.
If the service interval has been exceeded, the general warning light also lights up yellow in addition to the date or mileage display. The Service lettering is displayed continuously.
If the service display appears more than a month
before the service date, the stored date must be adjusted in the instrument cluster. This situation can occur if the battery has been disconnected for a longer time.
Consult a certified workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer, for setting of the date.
