Note the points listed for protection of the catalytic converter. question and lead to failure of safety-relevant functions. Damage caused in this way is not covered by the warranty. Do not tamper with the vehicle in any way that could result in tuned performance.
The engine starts. Consult the troubleshooting chart below if the engine refuses to start. ( 130) Pre-ride check The instrument panel runs a test of the 'General' warning light when the ignition is switched on: this is the Pre-Ride-Check". The test is aborted if you start the engine before it completes. Press starter button 1. 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.
6 Riding 74 z ABS self-diagnosis BMW Motorrad Integral ABS performs self-diagnosis to ensure its operability. Self-diagnosis starts automatically when you switch on the ignition. Phase 1 Test of the diagnosis-compatible system components with the vehicle at a standstill. ABS warning light flashes. Phase 2 Test of the wheel sensors as the vehicle pulls away from rest. The motorcycle must reach a speed of at least 5 km h in order for ABS self-diagnosis to complete. ABS warning light flashes.
Running in Engine Until the first running-in check, vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently; avoid riding at constant engine rpm for prolonged periods. Try to do most of your riding during this initial period on twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoiding high-speed main roads and highways if possible. Comply with the rpm limits for running in. Running-in speed <7000 min-1 Do not omit the first running-in check after 500 - 1200 km.
6 Riding 76 pulling the clutch or changing the throttle-valve angle. The throttle valve remains open to accelerate the motorcycle and upshift time is reduced to a minimum. You select the gear in the usual way by means of the foot-operated shift lever. z can cause a severe reaction to the load change. BMW Motorrad recommends disengaging the clutch for upshifts in these circumstances.
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS prevents the front wheel from locking up. Descending mountain passes There is a danger of the brakes fading if you use only the rear brakes when descending mountain passes. Under extreme conditions, the brakes could overheat and suffer severe damage. With the BMW integrated brake system, the rear brake is activated when the handbrake lever is pressed. This protects against overheating.Only use the front brake and utilise engine braking.
6 Riding 78 z If the camber of the roadway permits, turn the handlebars all the way to the left. On a gradient, the motorcycle should always face uphill; select 1st gear. Centre stand with centre stand generation II OA Switch off the engine. If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guarantee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm.
Refuel with fuel of the grade stated above; do not fill the tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck. Use the ignition key to unlock the fuel filler cap and pop the cap open. If filling occurs after the fuel level has gone below the reserve limit, the amount filled must be greater than the reserve amount for the new fuel level to be recognised and the warning light to switch off. Remove the key and close the protective cap.
6 Push the motorcycle onto the transportation flat and hold it in position: do not place it on the side stand or centre stand.

7 82 Brake system with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Engineering details Partially integral brakes z Your motorcycle is equipped with partially integral brakes. Both front and rear brakes are applied when you pull the handbrake lever. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake. While the brakes are slowing the motorcycle, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts braking-force distribution between front and rear brakes to suit the load on the motorcycle.
What feedback does the rider receive from the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? If the ABS system has to reduce braking force on account of the circumstances described above, vibration is perceptible through the handbrake lever. When the handbrake lever is pulled, brake pressure is also built up at the rear wheel by the integral function.
7 Engineering details 84 z In addition to problems with the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, exceptional riding conditions can lead to a fault message being issued. Exceptional riding conditions: Heating up with the motorcycle on the centre stand or an auxiliary stand, engine idling or with a gear engaged. Rear wheel locked by the engine brake for a lengthy period, for example while descending on a loose surface.
BMW Motorrad ASC is designed as an assistant system for the rider and for use on public roads. The extent to which the rider affects the ASC can be considerable (weight shifts when cornering, items of luggage loose on the motorcycle), especially when style of riding takes rider and machine close to the limits imposed by physics. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track.
7 Engineering details 86 z If the front wheel lifts clear of the ground under severe acceleration, the ASC reduces engine torque until the front wheel regains contact with the ground. Under these circumstances, BMW Motorrad recommends rolling the throttle slightly closed so as to restore stability with the least possible delay. When riding on a slippery surface, never snap the throttle twistgrip fully closed without pulling the clutch at the same time.
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 at a service station 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. The gauge on the air line shows 2.4 bar. You must now increase tyre pressure by the 0.
7 Engineering details 88 z It is possible to change the spring rate electronically by combining a conventional coil spring and a plastic element (Elastogran), the lateral expansion of which can be restricted electro-hydraulically using a displaceable sleeve. The more the sleeve encloses the plastic element, the more the expansion of the plastic element is restricted, causing the spring rate to increase.

Checking engine oil level Oil can collect in the sump if the motorcycle is out of use for an extended period of time; this oil has to be pumped into the oil tank before the level is read. The engine oil must be at operating temperature to do this. Checking the oil level with the engine cold or after no more than a short ride will lead to misinterpretation; this in turn, means that the engine will be operated with the incorrect quantity of oil.
