Rider's equipment Do not ride without the correct clothing! Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots 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. Loading Overloading and imbalanced loads can adversely affect the motorcycle's handling. Do not exceed the permissible gross weight and be sure to comply with the instructions on loading.

Damage caused in this way is not covered by the warranty. Do not tamper with the motorcycle in any way that could result in tuned performance. Risk of overheating Checklist Cooling would be inadequate if the engine were allowed to idle for a lengthy period with the motorcycle at a standstill: overheating would result.
5 Consult the troubleshooting chart below if the engine refuses to start. ( 113) 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. Riding 60 When starting a cold engine at low ambient temperatures: disengage the clutch and turn the twistgrip slightly to open the throttle.
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 selfdiagnosis to complete. ABS warning light flashes. ABS self-diagnosis completed The ABS warning light goes out. If an indicator showing an ABS fault appears when ABS self-diagnosis completes: You can continue to ride. Bear in mind that neither the ABS function nor the integral braking function is available.
5 62 Have the fault rectified as quickly as possible by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. Riding Running in z 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.
Brakes The sensor 1 in the shift linkage registers the shift request and triggers shift assistance. When you are riding at constant speed with the engine revving high in a low gear, upshifting without disengaging the clutch can cause a severe reaction to the load change. BMW Motorrad recommends disengaging the clutch for upshifts in these circumstances. It is advisable to avoid using the shift assistant at engine speeds close to the limits at which the governor cuts in to limit engine rpm.
5 Riding 64 z 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. Wet and dirty brakes Wetness and dirt on the brake discs and the brake pads diminish braking efficiency.
Excessive movements could cause the centre stand to retract, and the vehicle would topple in consequence. Do not lean or sit on the motorcycle with the centre stand extended. Extend the centre stand and lift the motorcycle onto the stand. Refuel on leaded fuel or fuel with metallic additives, e.g. manganese or iron. You can run the engine on fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %, i.e. E10. Recommended fuel grade Premium plus unleaded (max.

Usable fuel capacity Riding approx. 19 l Reserve fuel z Do not fill the tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck.
5 Risk of damaging components. Take care not to trap components such as brake lines or wires. At the front, place the strap over the frame and route it downwards. Feed the strap forwards through the wheel carrier and tighten it downwards. At the rear, secure the straps to the rear footrests on both sides and tighten the straps. Tighten all the straps uniformly; the vehicle's suspension should be compressed as tightly as possible front and rear.
6 68 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.
6 Engineering details 70 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 ASC control can be considerable (weight shifts when cornering, items of luggage loose on the motorcycle), especially when the style of riding takes the 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.
6 Engineering details 72 z If the front wheel lifts clear of the ground under severe acceleration, 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.
The tyre-pressure readings shown by the multifunction display are temperaturecompensated; the reference tyre temperature for these readings is always 20 °C. The air lines available to the public in petrol stations and motorway service areas have gauges that do not compensate for temperature; the reading shown by a gauge of this nature is the temperaturedependent tyre pressure. In most instances, therefore, these gauge readings will not tally with the pressures shown by the multifunction display.
6 Engineering details 74 z The static normal position is almost maintained even while riding. The different riding conditions and load statuses are compensated, so that the handling of the motorcycle remains constant. 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.
BMW Motorrad cannot examine or test each product of outside origin to ensure that it can be used on or in connection with BMW motorcycles without constituting a safety hazard. Country-specific official authorisation does not suffice as assurance. Tests conducted by these instances cannot make provision for all operating conditions experienced by BMW motorcycles and, consequently, they are not sufficient in some circumstances. Use only parts and accessories approved by BMW for your motorcycle.
