Locking the handlebars

If the motorcycle is onthe side stand, the sur-

face of the ground will de-termine whether it is betterto turn the handlebars to theleft or right. However, the mo-torcycle is more stable on alevel surface with the handle-bars turned to the left thanwith the handlebars turned tothe right.On level ground, always turnthe handlebars to the left toset the steering lock.

Turn the handlebars to thefull left or right lock position.Turn the key to position 3,while moving the handlebarsslightly.Ignition, lights and all func-tion circuits switched off.Handlebars locked.Key can be removed.

Electronic immobiliser(EWS)Protection against theftThe electronic immobiliserhelps protect your BMW mo-torcycle from theft, and thisenhanced security is at yourdisposal without any need foryou to set parameters or ac-tivate additional systems. Theengine of a motorcycle fittedwith this electronic immobil-iser can be started only withthe keys that belong to thevehicle. You can also have

your authorised BMW Mo-torrad dealer bar individualkeys, for example if a partic-ular key goes missing. Theengine cannot be started witha key that has been barred.

In-key electronicsAn electronic component isintegrated into each of yourkeys. The motorcycle's elec-tronics exchange certain con-tinuously changing signalswith the electronics in thekey; these signals are spe-cific to your motorcycle andthey are transmitted via thering aerial in the ignition lock.The ignition is not enabled forstarting until the key has beenrecognised as "authorised" foryour motorcycle.

A spare key attachedto the same ring as the

ignition key used to start theengine could "irritate" the

429

electronics, in which case theenabling signal for starting isnot issued. The EWS warningappears in the multifunctiondisplay.Always keep the spare keyseparately from the ignitionkey.

Replacement and extrakeysYou can obtain replace-ment/extra keys only throughan authorised BMW Motorraddealer. The keys are partof an integrated securitysystem, so the dealer is underan obligation to check thelegitimacy of all applicationsfor replacement/extra keys. Ifyou want to have a lost keybarred, you have to bring withyou all the other keys thatbelong to the motorcycle. Akey that has been barred can

subsequently be cleared andreactivated for use.

The residual-range readout 1indicates how far you canride with the fuel remainingin the tank. This reading isnot displayed until fuel levelhas dropped to reserve. Thisdistance is calculated on thebasis of fuel level and averageconsumption.When you refuel, the increasein fuel level is not registeredunless several litres are ad-ded to the fuel already in thetank.

The residual range isonly an approximate

reading. Consequently, BMWMotorrad recommends thatyou should not try to use thefull residual range beforerefuelling.

Spring preloadAir Damping SystemThis motorcycle has an air-filled rear suspension systemknown as the Air DampingSystem.In this system, it is a volumeof air in an enclosed cham-ber, not a steel spring, thatabsorbs the shocks transmit-ted by the wheel to the sus-pension.Spring preload of theAir Damping System isadjusted to suit total weight(motorcycle plus rider, plusluggage) by changing the airpressure in this system. You

can use the valve on the AirDamping System to reducepressure, or you can increasepressure by connecting thepump to this valve.

Fore-and-aft tilt indicatorThe fore-and aft tilt indicatoron the motorcycle has muchthe same function as a spir-it level, and indeed it is verysimilar in appearance to anordinary bubble level. The air-pressure setting is ideal whenthe fore-and-aft tilt indicat-or shows that the motorcyclecarrying rider and load is hori-zontal.Always check the air pressurebefore riding off.

Adjusting air pressureIt is essential to set the pres-sure in the Air Damping Sys-tem to suit the load carriedon the motorcycle. Increase

445

z Op

air pressure when the motor-cycle is heavily loaded andreduce air pressure accord-ingly when the motorcycle islightly loaded.You read the fore-and-aft tiltindicator by sitting on the seatin such a way that you cankeep the motorcycle balancedwith your feet, but the motor-cycle is supporting as muchof your weight as possible.BMW Motorrad recommendssetting the air pressure in theAir Damping System mar-ginally higher than would benecessary for the weight ofthe rider plus the expectedweight of the load. You canthen reduce the air pressurewhile sitting on the motor-cycle.

Air pressure andtemperatureWhen the Air Damping Sys-tem is working hard to absorbshocks, the air inside the sys-tem becomes warmer. Thiscauses the air pressure torise, which increases springpreload, a welcome effect foroff-roading.In order to ensure that springpreload is set correctly, how-ever, you must always checkand adjust the air pressurewhen the Air Damping Systemis cold, in order words not im-mediately after the motorcyclehas been used for off-roading.

Lengthy periods ofdisuseIf it is going to be out of usefor more than two months,support the motorcycle insuch a way that the wheelsare not taking any weight, for

example by lifting it onto theBMW auxiliary stand. Checkthe air pressures before re-moving the motorcycle fromthe auxiliary stand. You canuse the pressure gauge onthe pneumatic pump for thischeck.

This applies even to shortjourneys, and to every sea-son of the year. Your author-ised BMW Motorrad dealerwill be glad to advise you onthe correct clothing for everypurpose.

SpeedIf you ride at high speed, al-ways bear in mind that vari-ous boundary conditions canadversely affect the handlingof your motorcycle:

Settings of the spring-strutand shock-absorber systemImbalanced loadLoose clothingInsufficient tyre pressurePoor tyre treadEtc.

Maximum speeds fortyres

The motorcycle's topspeed might be high-

er than the maximum speedpermitted for the tyres. Ex-cessive speeds can damagethe tyres and this could causeaccidents.Comply with the tyre-specificspeed restrictions.

Correct loadingOverloading and imbal-anced loads can ad-

versely affect the motorcycle'shandling.

Do not exceed the permiss-ible gross weight and be sureto comply with the instruc-tions on loading.

Alcohol and drugsEven small amounts ofalcohol or drugs will ad-

versely affect your percep-tion and your ability to as-sess situations and make de-cisions, and slow down yourreflexes. Medication can ex-acerbate these effects.Do not ride your motorcycleafter consuming alcohol,drugs and/or medication.

Risk of poisoningExhaust fumes contain car-bon monoxide, which is col-ourless and odourless buthighly toxic.

High voltageTouching live parts ofthe ignition system with

the engine running can causeelectric shock.Do not touch parts of the igni-tion system when the engineis running.

Catalytic converterIf misfiring causes unburnedfuel to enter the catalytic con-verter, there is a danger ofoverheating and damage.For this reason, observe thefollowing points:

Do not run the fuel tank dry.Do not attempt to start orrun the engine with a spark-plug cap disconnected.Stop the engine immediatelyif it misfires.Use only unleaded fuel.Comply with all specifiedmaintenance intervals.

Unburned fuel will des-troy the catalytic con-

verter.Note the points listed forprotection of the catalyticconverter.

Risk of fireTemperatures at the exhaustare high.

Flammable materials(e.g. hay, leaves, grass,

clothing and luggage, etc.)could ignite if allowed tocome into contact with thehot exhaust pipe.

Do not permit flammable ma-terials to come into contactwith the hot exhaust system.

Cooling would beinadequate if the engine

were allowed to idle fora lengthy period with themotorcycle at a standstill:overheating would result.In extreme cases, themotorcycle could catch fire.Do not allow the engine toidle unnecessarily. Ride awayimmediately after starting theengine.

While running in the mo-torcycle, vary the throttleopening and engine-speedrange frequently.Try to do most of your rid-ing during this initial periodon twisting, fairly hilly roads,avoiding high-speed mainroads and highways if pos-sible.

Exceeding the specifiedengine speeds while run-

ning in will lead to increasedengine wear.Keep to the specified enginespeeds for running in.

Do not exceed the rpm lim-its recommended for run-ning in.

Running-in speed

4000 min-1

No full-load acceleration.Avoid low engine speeds atfull load.Do not omit the first inspec-tion after 500 - 1200 km.

Brake padsNew brake pads must "beddown" and therefore do notachieve their optimum frictionlevels during the first 500 km.You can compensate for this

initial reduction in braking ef-ficiency by exerting greaterpressure on the levers.

New brake pads can ex-tend stopping distance

by a significant margin.Apply the brakes in goodtime.

TyresNew tyres have a smoothsurface. This must beroughened by riding in arestrained manner at variousheel angles until the tyresare run in. This running inprocedure is essential if thetyres are to achieve maximumgrip.

Slowly lean the motorcycleto the side until its weightis taken by the stand anddismount to the left.

If the motorcycle is onthe side stand, the sur-

face of the ground will de-termine whether it is betterto turn the handlebars to theleft or right. However, the mo-torcycle is more stable on alevel surface with the handle-bars turned to the left thanwith the handlebars turned tothe right.On level ground, always turnthe handlebars to the left toset the steering lock.

Turn the handlebars to fullleft or right lock.Check that the motorcycleis standing firmly.

On a gradient, the mo-torcycle should always

face uphill; select 1st gear.

when the motorcycle is mov-ing and lead to a fall.Retract the side stand beforemoving the motorcycle.

Sit on the motorcycle anduse your left foot to retractthe side stand.

RefuellingFuel level

The fuel tank is made of semi-transparent material, so thelevel of fuel in the tank is vis-ible. If you look back fromthe direction of the telescopicforks, you can quickly checkhow much fuel is in the tank.The 5-litre level 1 and an 11-litre level 2 are marked on thefuel tank.

General instructionsBMW Motorrad recommendsthe use of parts and ac-cessories for your motorcyclethat are approved by BMW forthis purpose.Genuine BMW parts and ac-cessories and other productswhich BMW has approvedcan be obtained from yourauthorised BMW Motorraddealer, together with expertadvice on their installationand use.These parts and productshave been tested by BMW forsafety, function and suitability.BMW accepts product liabilityfor them.Conversely, BMW is unableto accept any liability whatso-ever for parts and accessor-ies which it has not approved.

BMW Motorrad cannotassess each non-BMW

product to determine whetherit can be used on or in con-nection with BMW motor-cycles without constitutinga safety hazard. Country-specific official authorisa-tion does not suffice as as-surance. Tests conductedby these instances cannotmake provision for all operat-ing conditions experienced byBMW motorcycles and, con-sequently, they are not suffi-cient in some circumstances.Use only parts and accessor-ies approved by BMW foryour motorcycle.

Whenever you are planningmodifications, comply with allthe legal requirements. Makesure that the motorcycle doesnot infringe national road-vehicle construction and useregulations.

Grip heating switchOA

The supply to socket 1 is cutoff automatically if batteryvoltage is low or the load ex-ceeds the maximum rating.

Operating electricalaccessoriesYou can start using electricalaccessories only when the ig-nition is switched on. The ac-cessory remains operationalif the ignition is subsequentlyswitched off. In order to en-sure that the drain on the on-

board power supply system isminimised, the supply to thepower socket is cut off ap-proximately 15 minutes afterthe ignition is switched off,and it is also temporarily in-terrupted during the start pro-cedure.

Cable routingThe cables from the powersocket to the auxiliary devicemust be routed in such a waythat they:

do not impede the riderdo not restrict or obstructthe steering angle andhandling characteristicscannot be trapped

Incorrectly routed cablescan impede the rider.

Engine oilChecking engine oil level

The engine can seize ifthe oil level is low, and

this can lead to accidents.Always make sure that the oillevel is correct.

The oil level varies withthe temperature of the

oil. The higher the temper-ature, the higher the level ofoil in the sump. Checking theoil level with the engine coldor after no more than a shortride will lead to misinterpret-ation; this in turn, means thatthe engine will be operated

The insufficient oilpressure warning does

not fulfil the function of anoil gauge. The only way ofchecking whether the oil levelis correct is to check the oilsight glass.

Hold the motorcycle up-right or place it on its centrestand.Wait five minutes afterswitching off the engine atoperating temperature.Hold the motorcycle upright.

Check the oil level in oil-level indicator 1.

BatteryMaintenance instructionsCorrect upkeep, rechargingand storage will prolong thelife of the battery and are es-sential if warranty claims areto be considered.Compliance with the pointsbelow is important in order tomaximise battery life:

Keep the surface of the bat-tery clean and dryDo not open the batteryDo not top up with waterBe sure to read and com-ply with the instructions forcharging the battery on thefollowing pagesDo not turn the battery up-side down

If the battery is not dis-connected, the on-board

electronics (e.g. clock, etc.)gradually drain the battery.This can cause the batteryto run flat. If this happens,warranty claims will not be ac-cepted.If the motorcycle is to be outof use for more than fourweeks, disconnect the batteryor connect a suitable tricklecharger to the battery.

BMW Motorrad has de-veloped a trickle-charger

specially designed for com-patibility with the electronicsof your motorcycle. Using thischarger, you can keep thebattery charged during longperiods of disuse, withouthaving to disconnect the bat-tery from the motorcycle'son-board systems. You canobtain additional informationfrom your authorised BMWMotorrad dealer.

Charging battery whenconnected

Charging the connec-ted battery directly at the

battery terminals can damagethe vehicle electronics.Always disconnect the batteryfrom the on-board circuits be-fore recharging it with a char-ger connected directly to thebattery posts.

Only chargers suitablefor this mode of charging

can be used to recharge thebattery via the on-board sock-et. Unsuitable chargers couldcause damage to the motor-cycle's on-board electrics.Use BMW chargers withthe part numbers 71 607 688 864 (220 V) or, asapplicable, 71 60 7 688 865(110 V). If you are in doubt,disconnect the battery fromthe on-board systems andconnect the charger directlyto the battery.

If you switch on the ig-nition and the multifunc-

tion display and telltale lightsfail to light up, the battery iscompletely flat. Attempting tocharge a completely flat bat-tery via the on-board socketcan cause damage to the mo-torcycle's electronics.If a battery has discharged to

the extent that it is completelyflat, it has to be disconnec-ted from the on-board circuitsand charged with the char-ger connected directly to thebattery posts.

Charge via the power sock-et, with the battery connec-ted to the motorcycle's on-board electrical system.Comply with the operatinginstructions of the charger.

The motorcycle'son-board electronics

know when the battery isfully charged. The on-boardsocket is switched off whenthis happens.

Charging battery whendisconnected

Charge the battery using asuitable charger.Comply with the operatinginstructions of the charger.

Once the battery is fullycharged, disconnect thecharger terminal clips fromthe battery terminals.

The battery has to be re-charged at regular inter-

vals in the course of a lengthyperiod of disuse. See the in-structions for caring for yourbattery. Always fully rechargethe battery before restoring itto use

Care productsBMW Motorrad recommendsthat you use the cleaningand care products you canobtain from your authorisedBMW Motorrad dealer. Thesubstances in BMW CareProducts have been tested inlaboratories and in practice;they provide optimisedcare and protection for thematerials used in your vehicle.

The use of unsuitablecleaning and care

products can damage vehiclecomponents.Do not use solvents such ascellulose thinners, cold clean-ers, fuel or the like, and donot use cleaning productsthat contain alcohol.

Washing themotorcycleBMW Motorrad recommendsthat you use BMW insect re-mover to soften and wash offinsects and stubborn dirt onpainted parts prior to washingthe motorcycle.To prevent stains, donot wash the motorcycleimmediately after it has beenexposed to strong sunlightand do not wash it in the sun.Make sure that the motor-cycle is washed frequently,especially during the wintermonths.To remove road salt, cleanthe motorcycle with cold wa-ter immediately after everytrip.

After the motorcycle hasbeen washed, ridden

through water or ridden inthe rain, the brake discs and

pads might be wet and thebrakes might not take effectimmediately.Apply the brakes in good timeuntil the brakes have driedout.

Warm water intensifiesthe effect of salt.

Use only cold water to washoff road salt.

The high pressure ofsteam cleaners can

damage seals, the hydraulicbrake system, the electricalsystem, and the seat.Do not use a steam jet orhigh-pressure cleaningequipment.

WindscreenHeadlight lens made ofplasticGlass cover of the instru-ment clusterBlack, unpainted parts

If plastic parts arecleaned using unsuitable

cleaning agents, the surfacescan be damaged.Do not use cleaning agentsthat contain alcohol, solventsor abrasives to clean plasticparts.Even fly-remover pads orcleaning pads with hard

surfaces can producescratches.

Soften stubborn dirt andinsects by covering the

affected areas with a wetcloth.

ChromeUse plenty of water and BMWshampoo to clean chrome,particularly if it has beenexposed to road salt. Usechrome polish for additionaltreatment.

RadiatorClean the radiator regularly toprevent overheating of the en-gine due to inadequate cool-ing.For example, use a gardenhose with low water pressure.

Cooling fins can be benteasily.

Take care not to bend the finswhen cleaning the radiator.

RubberTreat rubber components withwater or BMW rubber-careproducts.

Using silicone sprays forthe care of rubber seals

can cause damage.Do not use silicone spraysor other care products thatcontain silicon.

Remove particularlyaggressive substancesimmediately, however, asotherwise the paint canbe affected or becomediscoloured. Substancesof this nature include spiltfuel, oil, grease, brake fluidand bird droppings. Werecommend BMW vehiclepolish or BMW paint cleanerfor this purpose.Marks on the paintwork areparticularly easy to see afterthe motorcycle has beenwashed. Remove stains ofthis kind immediately, usingcleaning-grade benzene orpetroleum spirit on a cleancloth or ball of cotton wool.BMW Motorrad recommendsusing BMW tar removerfor removing specks of tar.Remember to wax the partstreated in this way.

Protective waxcoatingBMW Motorrad recommendsapplying only BMW car wax orproducts containing carnaubawax or synthetic wax.The best way to see whetherthe paint has to be protectedis that water no longer formspearls.

Laying up themotorcycle

Clean the motorcycle.Remove the battery.Spray the brake and clutchlever pivots and the mainand side stand pivots with asuitable lubricant.Coat bright metal andchrome-plated parts withan acid-free grease (e.g.Vaseline).Stand the motorcycle ina dry room in such a way

that there is no load oneither wheel. AuthorisedBMW Motorrad dealers canprovide suitable auxiliarystands.

Before laying the vehicleup out of use, have the

engine oil and the oil filter ele-ment changed by a special-ist workshop, preferably anauthorised BMW Motorraddealer. Combine work for lay-ing up/restoring to use with aBMW service or inspection.

Restoring motorcycleto use
