The electronic design of the
motorcycle allows it to access
data stored in the ignition key
by means of a ring antenna loc-
ated in the ignition switch/steer-
ing lock. The engine control unit
will not permit the engine to be
started unless the key is identi-
fied as “authorised”.
NOTICE
A spare 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.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your key, you can
have it barred by your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
If you wish to do this, you will
need to bring all other keys for
the motorcycle with you. The
engine cannot be started by a
barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain emergency/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated security
system, so the dealer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
