Safety instructions 42 Do not ride without the correct clothing. Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots Riding 5 z Rider's equipment Settings of the spring-strut and shock-absorber system Imbalanced load Loose clothing Insufficient tyre pressure Poor tyre tread Etc. Correct loading Do not ride your motorcycle after consuming alcohol, drugs and/or medication. Risk of poisoning Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless but highly toxic.
Risk of fire If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage. For this reason, observe the following points: Do not run the fuel tank dry. Do not attempt to start or run the engine with a spark-plug cap disconnected. Stop the engine immediately if it misfires. Use only unleaded fuel. Comply with all specified maintenance intervals. Temperatures at the exhaust are high. Unburned fuel will destroy the catalytic converter.
5 Riding 44 z Checklist Starting Use the following checklist to check important functions, settings and wear limits before you ride off.
The idle actuator is positioned after you switch on the ignition. The coolant-temperature warning light flashes if the idle actuator has not correctly positioned before the preride check completes. In order to avoid subsequent problems, wait for this process to complete before proceeding. If ambient temperatures are very low, you might find it necessary to open the throttle slightly when starting the engine. At ambient temperatures below 0 °C, disengage the clutch after switching on the ignition.
5 Riding 46 z If an indicator showing an ABS fault appears when ABS self-diagnosis completes: You can continue to ride. Bear in mind that the ABS function is not available. Have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. Running in The first 1000 km While running in the motorcycle, vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently.
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. The higher the wheel load, the more braking force can be transmitted without the wheel locking. To optimise stopping distance, apply the front brakes rapidly and keep on increasing the force you apply to the brake lever.
5 Riding 48 z Oil or grease on brakes Oil and grease on the brake discs and pads considerably diminish braking efficiency. Especially after repair and maintenance work, make sure that the brake discs and brake pads are free of oil and grease. Dirt or mud on brakes When riding on loose surfaces or muddy roads, the brakes may fail to take effect immediately because of dirt or moisture on the discs or brake pads. Apply the brakes in good time until the brakes have been cleaned.
Lock the steering lock. Removing motorcycle from side stand Unlock the steering lock. From the left, grip the handlebars with both hands. Pull the handbrake lever. Swing your right leg over the seat and lift the motorcycle to the upright position. Hold the motorcycle upright and balanced. An extended side stand can catch on the ground when the motorcycle is moving and lead to a fall. Retract the side stand before moving the motorcycle. Sit on the motorcycle and use your left foot to retract the side stand.
5 Riding 50 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. Fuel expands when hot. Fuel escaping from an overfilled tank could make its way onto the rear tyre. This could cause a fall. Do not fill the tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck. Fuel attacks plastics, which become dull or unsightly. Wipe off plastic parts immediately if they come into contact with fuel.
5 The motorcycle can topple and fall on its side. Make sure that the motorcycle cannot topple sideways. Push the motorcycle onto the transportation flat and hold it in position: do not place it on the side stand or centre stand. Risk of damaging components. Take care not to trap components such as brake lines or wires. At the front, secure the straps to the bottom fork bridge on both sides. At the rear, secure the straps to the rear footrests on both sides and tighten the straps.

Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS 54 How does ABS work? Engineering details 6 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.

9 Care 104 z Care products BMW Motorrad recommends that you use the cleaning and care products you can obtain from your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. The substances in BMW Care Products have been tested in laboratories and in practice; they provide optimised care and protection for the materials used in your vehicle. The use of unsuitable cleaning and care products can damage vehicle components.
Soften stubborn dirt and insects by covering the affected areas with a wet cloth. Chrome Use plenty of water and BMW shampoo to clean chrome, particularly if it has been exposed to road salt. Use chrome polish for additional treatment. Radiator Clean the radiator regularly to prevent overheating of the engine due to inadequate cooling. For example, use a garden hose with low water pressure. Cooling fins can be bent easily. Take care not to bend the fins when cleaning the radiator.
9 Care 106 z Protective wax coating BMW Motorrad recommends applying only BMW car wax or products containing carnauba wax or synthetic wax. It is time to rewax the paintwork when water "puddles" on the surface, instead of forming beads. Laying up motorcycle Clean the motorcycle. Remove the battery. Spray the brake and clutch lever pivots, the side stand pivots and the centre stand pivots (if the motorcycle is fitted with a centre stand) with a suitable lubricant.
