Equipment

When you ordered your BMW motorcycle, you chose various items of custom equipment. This Rider's Manual describes optional equipment (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 separate operating instructions.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and outputs in the Rider's Manual refer to the Deutsches 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.

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.

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 1 and year 2 are shown. In this example the display means "August 2010".

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 621 miles (1000 km), the remaining miles (kilometers) are counted down

in 62-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.
