When the motorcycle arrives, check the crated
motorcycle immediately for damage and, if nec­essary, examine the contents for consequential damage.

In case of damage in Germany

Note the damage on the delivery slip.
Read the information sheet on damage in transit.
Notify the supplier without delay (e.g. freight
company or DB) and also Bavaria Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH Abteilung ZW - 12 80788 München Tel. +49 89/14327-632 Fax. +49 89/14327-709

Unpacking the motorcycle

Lever off the cover.
Remove plastic covers.
Take out the separate pack of items:
Front wheelCase lidAerialWindscreenCoversEngine spoilerCover for windscreen adjusterFront mudguardMirrorsSmall parts/fastenersDocumentation
Remove the set of keys from the left rear footrest.
Force off cross-struts with a suitable lever.

In case of damage in importer markets

Note the damage on the delivery slip.
Comply with specific national market proce-
dures. In case of doubt, please submit enquiries to: Bavaria Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH Abteilung ZW - 12 D-80788 München Tel. +49 89/14327-632 Fax. +49 89/14327-709 Notify the supplier (e.g. freight company) without
delay.
e Attention:
Do not knock the cross-struts out or the motorcycle may be damaged.
Remove the end-walls.
Remove the side-walls.
e Attention:
Remove any nails projecting from the base of the crate or lying on the base or on the floor.
Dispose of the packing materials in an environ-
mentally responsible manner as described in Cir­cular 23/91 - Sales.

e Attention:
Locate stop on slider tube (A) in recess in speedom­eter drive (B).
Tighten the retaining screw (3).
Install the front brake calipers.
Release the motorcycle from the assembly
crane, BMW No. 46 5 640. Compress the front fork firmly several times.
Tighten the clamp screws.
e Attention:
Do not damage the brake lines, Bowden cables and fairing panels.
Raise the front of the motorcycle.
e Attention:
Make sure that the motorcycle cannot topple side­ways.
Remove rear straps.
Using the assembly crane, BMWNo.465640,
carefully push the motorcycle forward off the pal­let. Extend the main stand and lower the motorcycle
until it is resting firmly on the main stand and the rear wheel.
d Warning:
Integral ABS When removing and installing the brake calipers, carefully force back the pistons only far enough to ensure that the wheel-circuit reservoir does not overflow. If fluid escapes, top up the level in the wheel-circuit reservoir to “MAX” mark.
d Warning:
The brakes are not ready for use until the brake pads have been bedded against the brake discs with the ignition switched on.

d Warning:
Battery acid is highly caustic. It must not contact the eyes, face hands, clothing or the motorcycles paintwork.
Fill all the cells with pure battery acid of
density 1.28 to the upper mark. Allow the battery to stand for approximately
30 minutes.
Disconnect the battery breather hose.
Pull the battery to the left to remove.

R22000040
The battery does not achieve full charge capacity
from being filled, so it has to be charged with a battery charger.
L Note:
Follow the instructions for use supplied with the bat­tery charger.
Charge current (amps)
.........................10 % of rated battery capacity (Ah)
Charging time
............................................................. 5-10 hours
Battery charge can be measured by checking
the density of the battery acid.
Acid density
Battery full charged
............1.26-1.30 at a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F)
Shake the battery slightly to allow the gas bub-
bles to escape. Wait until the battery acid has settled, check that
no more bubbles rise and if necessary, top up the acid to the max. mark. Reinstall the plugs.
Make a note of the charging date on the battery.
Switch on the ignition.
L Note:
After switching on the ignition, always wait for the BMW Integral ABS to complete its self-diagnosis. Do not operate the brake lever until self-diagnosis has completed.
With the ignition switched on, bed in the brake
pads against the brake discs. Without starting the engine, fully open the throttle
once or twice so that the Motronic control unit can register the throttle-valve positions.
L Note:
Disconnecting the battery means that the entries in the fault memory of the Motronic MA2.4 control unit are deleted and the adaptation values are reset. This can temporarily impair the operating character­istics when the engine is restarted.

Integral ABS Performing bleed test with BMW MoDiTeC
d Warning:
Self-diagnosis is not performed unless both brake levers are in their fully released positions. Prior to conclusion of the self-diagnosis, only RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNCTION is available.
Perform BMW Integral ABS self-diagnosis:
Release the brake levers, if necessary.
Switch on the ignition.
With the ignition switched on, bed in the brake
pads against the brake discs.
ABS warning light.............................flashes at 4 Hz
General warning light ........................................ ON
– Self-diagnosis is in progress
ABS warning light.............................flashes at 1 Hz
General warning light ....................................... OFF
– Self-diagnosis successfully completed.
Perform bleed test with BMW MoDiTeC:
Remove front and rear seats.
Connect the BMW MoDiTeC to the diagnosis
connector.
d Warning:
When performing maintenance and repair work on BMW Integral ABS, never pump quickly or vigorous­ly.

Final inspection and function check

Clutch
Check gear shift action.
Handbrake and foot brake
Check lights and signalling equipment:
Front and rear parking lightsInstrument lightingLow and high headlight beams, headlight flasherFog lampsBrake light (operate brake at front and rear)Turn signals left/rightHazard warning lightsHornTelltale and warning lightsInstruments
Check operation of optional extras.
If necessary, take the motorcycle for a test ride.
Confirm pre-delivery check in Service and Tech-
nical Booklet. See “Checking motorcycle for damage” if defects
are found.

Final cleaning

Clean the motorcycle.
L Note:
Do not use a steam or high-pressure water jet. The high steam or water pressure could damage seals, the hydraulic system or electrical components.

Handing over the motorcycle

This is the ideal opportunity to familiarise the cus­tomer with the motorcycle in order to ensure the customers satisfaction and safety.
The following points must be demonstrated and
explained to the customer:
documentation and stowage spacetoolkit and stowage spacesuspension preload adjustment to suit total
weight
checking brake fluid/clutch operating fluidprovision for adjusting handlebars lever positionsprocedure for adjusting seathow to adjust the mirrorscontrolsinstruments and telltale lightsoptional equipment and accessories fittedfeatures of BMWIntegralABS:
brake servo, residual braking function, pump noises, self-diagnosis with pull-away test.
The user must be given the following information:
running-in recommendations and inspection in-
tervals
safety checkfeatures of BMWIntegralABS:
fully integral brake, brake-fluid levels in the control circuits remain constant despite brake-pad wear.
– the clutch fluid level rises gradually as the motor-
cycle is ridden (clutch lining wear)
– Always check the oil level when the engine is at
operating temperature, because the difference between the oil level indicated when the engine is at operating temperature and the oil level indi­cated when the engine is very cold due to ex­tremely low outdoor temperatures can be as much as 10 mm (0.3937 in). After switching off the engine at operating temperature, wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the sump. Checking the oil level just after the engine has been run or when it is not properly warm will fal­sify the reading.
