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.

Gear indicator

The gear engaged or N for neutral appears on the display.

If no gear is engaged, the 'neutral' telltale light also

lights up.

If the next service is due in less than one month, the date for the next service is shown briefly after the Pre-Ride Check completes. Month 1 and year 2 are shown; in this example the reading means "August 2010".

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 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 accom-

panied 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.

Standard warnings

Mode of presentation

Warnings are output by a warning light 1 or indicated by a warning string in the display.

Status indicators

If a warning string 2 appears on the display it is accompanied by the 'General' warning light 3 showing red or yellow.

If two or more warnings occur at the same time, all the appropriate warning lights show, alternating with warning strings as applicable.

The possible warnings are listed on the next page.
