Safety instructions 54 Do not ride without the correct clothing. Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots Riding 5 z Rider's equipment This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year. Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer will be glad to advise you on the correct clothing for every purpose. Correct loading Overloading and imbalanced loads can adversely affect the motorcycle's handling.
Risk of poisoning Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless but highly toxic. Inhaling the exhaust fumes therefore represents a health hazard and can even cause loss of consciousness with fatal consequences. Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Do not run the engine in an enclosed space. Catalytic converter Risk of overheating If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage.
5 Riding 56 z Checklist Starting Use the following checklist to check important functions, settings and wear limits before you ride off.
The start attempt is automatically interrupted if battery voltage is too low. Recharge the battery before you start the engine, or use jump leads and a donor battery to start. The engine starts. If the engine refuses to start, consult the troubleshooting chart in the section entitled "Technical data". ( 116) If ambient temperatures are very low, you might find it necessary to open the throttle slightly when starting the engine.
5 Riding 58 z If a needle did not move or if a warning light or telltale light did not show: Some malfunctions cannot be indicated if one of the warning lights fails to show. Make sure that all the warning and telltale lights come on in the pre-ride check. Have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. ABS self-diagnosis with BMW Motorrad ABS OE BMW Motorrad ABS performs self-diagnosis to ensure its operability.
Brake pads New brake pads have to bed down before they can achieve their optimum friction levels. You can compensate for this initial reduction in braking efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the levers. Tyres do not have their full grip when new and there is a risk of accidents at extreme angles of heel. Avoid extreme angles of heel. speed with on-board computer OE dicate that the engine is redlining. The signal remains active until you shift up or reduce engine speed.
5 Riding 60 z ON: Redline warning activated. OFF: Redline warning deactivated. To save the setting, press button 1 and button 2 at the same time and hold them down until the reading changes. Brakes How can stopping distance be minimised? Each time the brakes are applied, a load distribution shift takes place with the load shifting forward from the rear to the front wheel. The sharper the motorcycle decelerates, the more load is shifted to the front wheel.
Wetness and dirt result in poor braking efficiency. Apply the brakes lightly while riding to remove wetness and dirt, or dismount and clean the brakes. Think ahead and brake in good time until full braking efficiency is restored. Parking your motorcycle Side stand Switch off the engine. If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guaran- tee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm.
5 Riding 62 z Refuelling Fuel is highly flammable. A naked flame close to the fuel tank can cause a fire or explosion. Do not smoke. Never bring a naked flame near the fuel tank. The volume of the tank can be utilised to the full only when the motorcycle is propped on its side stand. Open the protective cap. Fuel expands when hot. Fuel escaping from an overfilled tank could make its way onto the road surface. This could cause a fall. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Super unleaded 95 ROZ/RON 89 AKI motorcycle are adequately protected against scratching. Use adhesive tape or soft cloths, for example, for this purpose. 5 63 Usable fuel capacity approx. 16 l Reserve fuel approx. 2 l Press the fuel tank cap down firmly to close. Remove the key and close the protective cap. Securing motorcycle for transportation Make sure that all components that might come into contact with straps used to secure the The motorcycle can topple and fall on its side.
5 Riding 64 z At the rear, secure the straps to the rear footrests on both sides and tighten the straps. Tighten all the straps uniformly; the motorcycle's suspension should be compressed as tightly as possible front and rear.

6 66 Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS with BMW Motorrad ABS OE Engineering details How does ABS work? z The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors hat include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean, dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance.
Within the limits imposed by physics, BMW Motorrad ABS ensures directional stability on any surface. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track. Special situations The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared as one means of detecting a wheel's incipient tendency to lock.
6 Engineering details 68 z momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to counteract their effects. nals for approximately 15 minutes after the motorcycle comes to a stop. Tyre pressure monitoring RDC The control unit can administrate four sensors, so two different sets of wheels with RDC sensors can be alternated on the motorcycle. An error message is issued if wheels without sensors are fitted to a motorcycle equipped with an RDC control unit.
A warning is also issued if tyre pressure drops sharply but stays within the permitted tolerance. Pressure adaptation Compare the RDC readings on the multifunction display with the value in the table on the inside cover of the Rider's Manual. Then use the air line to compensate for the difference between the RDC reading and the value in the table. Example: According to the Rider's Manual, tyre pressure should be 2.5 bar, but the reading in the multifunction display is 2.3 bar.
