Notice concerning current status

The high safety and quality standards of BMW motorcycles are maintained by constant development work on design, equipment and accessories. For this reason, aspects of your motorcycle may vary from the descriptions in this Rider's Manual. In addition, BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee the total absence of errors. We hope you will appreciate that no claims can be recognized based on the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

Fuel down to reserve

Fuel-reserve warning lamp lights up.

WARNING

Rough engine running or switching off of the engine due to a fuel shortage.

Accident hazard. Damage to the catalytic converter.

Do not drive to the extent that the fuel tank is completely empty.

Possible cause: At the most, the fuel tank still

contains the reserve fuel quantity.

Fuel reserve

Approx. 1.1 gal (Approx. 4 l)

Refueling procedure ( 103).

Cruising range

The cruising range 1 indicates the distance that can still be driven with the remaining fuel. This distance is calculated based on fuel level and average consumption. The odometer for the fuel reserve is reset when the fuel quantity after refueling is greater than the fuel reserve. If the motorcycle is standing on its side stand, the motorcycle's inclined position will prevent the fuel level from being registered accurately. For this reason travel

range is only calculated with the side stand retracted.

NOTICE

The determined range is an approximate reading. BMW Motorrad therefore recommends that you do not try to use the full range before refueling.

Service display

If the time remaining until the next service will elapse within one month, the service date 1 appears briefly following the Pre-

Displays

Displays

If the vehicle covers high annual mileages then shorter service intervals may be required. If the mileage for the brought-forward service is within the display range, the remaining mileage 1 then appears briefly following the Pre-Ride-Check.

Indication of remaining mileage until next

service:

621 miles (1000 km)

General warning lamp lights up yellow and

SERVICE! is continually

displayed. When a service date elapses without service, the general warning lamp lights up in yellow, appearing together with the date and mileage (kilometer) display. The "Service" message is displayed continuously.

Contact an authorized service facility, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.

NOTICE

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.

EWS Electronic immobilizer

The motorcycle's electronic circuitry monitors the data stored in the ignition key through a ring antenna incorporated in the steering and ignition lock. The engine management system does not enable engine starting until this key is recognized as "authorized" for your motorcycle.

NOTICE

A further key attached to the same ring as the ignition key used to start the engine could "irritate" the electronics, in which case the enabling signal for starting is not issued. The

EWS warning is shown in the

multifunction display. Always store further vehicle keys separately from the ignition key.

If you lose a vehicle key, you can have it disabled by your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. When having a key disabled you should also bring all of the motorcycle's remaining keys with you. The engine can no longer be started using a disabled key; however, a disabled key can be enabled again. Ignition keys are available only through an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. The keys are part of an integrated security system, so the retailer is under an obligation to check the legitimacy of all applications for replacement/extra keys.

If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage. For this reason, observe the following points:

Do not run the fuel tank dry.

Do not run the engine with the

spark-plug cap removed.

Stop the engine immediately if

it misfires.

Use unleaded fuel only.
