Equipment

When you ordered your BMW motorcycle, 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 was supplied with equipment not described in this Rider's Manual, you will find these features described in separate manuals.

Technical data

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.

Currency

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. 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

Service-due indicator

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 "August 2012".

If the motorcycle 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 for a prolonged period of time.

If you want to have the date set consult a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Range

The range readout 1 indicates how far you can ride with the fuel remaining in the tank. This reading is not displayed until fuel level has dropped to reserve. This distance is calculated on the basis of fuel level and average consumption.

When refuelling after running on reserve, make sure that you top up the tank to a level above reserve, as otherwise the sensor will not be able to register the new level. If the sensor cannot

register the new level the range readout cannot be updated. When the motorcycle is propped on its side stand the slight angle of inclination means that the sensor cannot register the fuel level correctly. This is the reason why the range is calculated only when the side stand is in the retracted position.

The calculated range is only an approximate reading.

Consequently, BMW Motorrad recommends that you should not try to use the full range before refuelling.

Warnings

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 such as, for example, 2 appearing on 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.

! EWS appears on the display. Possible cause:

The key being used is not authorised for starting, or communication between key and engine electronics is disrupted.

Remove all other vehicle keys from the same ring as the ignition key.

Use the reserve key. Have the defective key re-

placed, preferably by an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Fuel down to reserve

Warning light for fuel down to reserve shows.

Lack of fuel can result in

the engine misfiring and

cutting out unexpectedly. Mis-

firing can damage the catalytic

converter; a hazardous situation can result if the engine cuts out unexpectedly.

Do not run the fuel tank dry.

Possible cause:

The fuel tank contains no more than the reserve quantity of fuel.

Reserve fuel

approx. 4 l

Refuel ( 69).

Coolant temperature too high

General warning light shows red.

The coolant-temperature reading flashes.

Continuing to ride when the engine is overheated could

result in engine damage. Compliance with the information set out below is essential.

Possible cause:

The coolant temperature is too high.

If possible, ride in the part-load range to cool down the engine. If the coolant temperature is frequently too high, have the fault rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Engine in emergencyoperation mode

Warning light for engine fault shows.

The engine is running in

emergency operating mode. Unusual engine response is a possibility.

Adapt your style of riding accordingly. Avoid accelerating sharply and overtaking.

Status indicators

Possible cause:

The engine control unit has diagnosed a fault. In exceptional cases, the engine stops and refuses to start. Otherwise, the engine runs in emergency operating mode.

You can continue to ride, but bear in mind that the usual engine power or the full range of engine rpm might not be available.

Have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Rear light bulb defective

General warning light shows yellow.

! LAMPR appears on the display.

Possible cause:

Rear light or brake light bulb defective.

The LED rear light must be replaced. Consult a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Parking-light bulb defective

! LAMPF appears on the display.

A defective bulb places

your safety at risk because it is easier for other users to oversee the motorcycle. Replace defective bulbs as soon as possible; always carry a complete set of spare bulbs if possible.

Possible cause:

Parking-light bulb defective. Replacing parking-light bulb, left ( 136).

Replacing parking-light bulb, right ( 138).

Turn-indicator bulb defective

! LAMP appears on the display.

A defective bulb places

your safety at risk because it is easier for other users to oversee the motorcycle. Replace defective bulbs as soon as possible; always carry a complete set of spare bulbs if possible.

Possible cause:

Turn-indicator bulb defective Replacing turn indicator bulbs, front and rear ( 139).

Possible cause:

The number-plate carrier has been removed; the motorcycle's on-board electronics know that the flashing turn indicators are not installed on the motorcycle.
