Safety instructions 86 Do not ride without the correct clothing. Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots Riding 6 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.
6 Riding 88 z Brakes Brake-fluid levels, front and rear Clutch Clutch fluid level Damping-characteristic setting and spring preload Tyre-tread depth and tyre pressures Security of the luggage At regular intervals: Engine oil level (every refuelling stop) Brake-pad wear (every third refuelling stop) Gearbox You can start the engine when the gearbox is in neutral or if you pull the clutch with a gear engaged.
The engine starts. Consult the troubleshooting chart below if the engine refuses to start. ( 154) Warm-up phase segment 2 in the rev. counter indicates the recommended maximum engine speed. As the engine warms up the LEDs go out and the recommended maximum engine speed increases. Once the engine has reached operating temperature all the LEDs are off and the engine can be revved to maximum speed. The vertical segment still visible in the rev. counter indicates the highest permissible engine speed.
light comes on, and that it shows red and yellow. 90 Have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. Riding 6 z ABS self-diagnosis OE BMW Motorrad ABS performs self-diagnosis to ensure its operability. Self-diagnosis is performed automatically when you switch on the ignition. The motorcycle has to move forward at a speed above 5 km/h for the wheel sensors to be tested.
Brake pads New brake pads must "bed down" and therefore do not achieve their optimum friction levels during the first 500 km. You can compensate for this initial reduction in braking efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the levers. New brake pads can extend stopping distance by a significant margin. Apply the brakes in good time. Tyres New tyres have a smooth surface. This must be roughened by riding in a restrained manner at various heel angles until the tyres are run in.
6 Riding 92 z Shift assistance is not available in the following situations: Gearshifts with the clutch disengaged Gearshifts with the throttle valve closed (engine overrun) Downshifts Gearshift-pattern reverser OA The external shift linkage is designed to accommodate a retrofit gearshift-pattern reverser. Note that the gearshift-pattern reverser also requires installation of a modified shift sensor.
Wet brakes After the motorcycle has been washed, ridden through water or ridden in the rain, the brake discs and pads might be wet and the brakes might not take effect immediately. Apply the brakes in good time until the brakes have dried out. Salt on brakes The brakes may fail to take effect immediately if the motorcycle was ridden on saltcovered roads and the brakes were not applied for some time. Apply the brakes in good time until the salt layer on the brake discs and brake pads has been removed.
6 Riding 94 z The side stand is designed to support only the weight of the motorcycle. Do not lean or sit on the motorcycle with the side stand extended. Slowly lean the motorcycle to the side until its weight is taken by the stand and dismount to the left. If the motorcycle is on the side stand, the surface of the ground will determine whether it is better to turn the handlebars to the left or right.
Open the fuel tank cap with the ignition key by turning it counter-clockwise. 95 ROZ/RON (Premium unleaded (fuel grade, usable with power- and consumption-related restrictions)) Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Use only unleaded fuel. Make sure the ground is level and firm and place the motorcycle on its stand. Usable fuel capacity approx. 16 l Refuel with fuel of the grade stated below; do not fill the tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck.

Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS OE 98 How does ABS work? Engineering details 7 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 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. If the system registers implausible values for a lengthy period the ABS function is deactivated for safety reasons and an ABS fault message is issued.

1 2 The front and rear Öhlins spring struts have adjustable compression-stage and rebound-stage damping and spring-preload adjustment. The rear spring strut is also length-adjustable so that steering geometry can be varied and ground clearance maximised to increase the motorcycle's angle of heel. The design and leverage of the Magura brake fitting with radially mounted brake actuator provide sensitive control of the powerful brakes. The clutch lever fitting is also of radial design.

1 2 3 The instrument panel from 2D Systems offers functions for road riding and for racing. On race days the instrument panel can save comprehensive data for each lap ridden, and this information can subsequently be called up for viewing and analysis. An infrared sensor available as an optional accessory can be connected for precision lap timing. CAN-bus technology is used for the on-board electrics.

1 2 3 Among the modifications implemented to gain more ground clearance for increased angles of heel, the stainless-steel headers come together in front of the engine, so that the exhaust pipe can be kept as close to the underside of the engine as possible. The exhaust-flow control valve actuated by a servomotor influences acoustic emissions as a function of operating condition.
7 Valve actuation Engineering details 110 z The valves are positioned radially so that the combustion chamber can be compact and contoured for smooth gas flow. The inlet ducts are machine-finished to optimise the inlet flow. Four valves per cylinder are operated by two overhead camshafts with angle-ground cams and short cam followers. Removal of the oil sinks with the cam followers is a service-friendly operation for vale-clearance adjustment.
