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.
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. Risk of burn injury Engine and exhaust system become very hot when the vehicle is in use. There is a risk of burn injuries by contact with hot surfaces.
5 Riding 60 z Checklists Starting Use the following checklists to check important functions, settings and wear limits.
The engine starts. If the engine refuses to start, consult the troubleshooting chart in the section entitled "Technical data". ( 118) Pre-ride check The instrument panel runs a test of the instruments and the telltale and warning lights when the ignition is switched on: this is the so-called "Pre-Ride-Check". The test is aborted if you start the engine before it completes. Phase 1 The rev. counter and speedometer needles both swing to the limit values on their scales.
5 Riding 62 z ABS self-diagnosis completed The ABS warning light goes out. Make sure that all the warning and telltale lights come on in the pre-ride check. After the ABS self-diagnosis completes, an indicator showing an ABS fault will appear. 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.
<5000 min-1 Note the mileage after the first inspection is due to be carried out. Mileage until first inspection 500...1200 km 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. New brake pads can extend stopping distance by a significant margin. Apply the brakes in good time. Tyres Redline warning New tyres have a smooth surface.
5 Activating redline warning 64 them down until the reading changes. Brakes Riding How can stopping distance be minimised? z Press button 1 and button 2 at the same time and hold them down until the reading changes. FLASH (redline warning) appears, along with ON or OFF. Repeatedly press button 1 until the reading shows the mode you want. ON: Redline warning activated. OFF: Redline warning deactivated.
Wetness and dirt on the brake discs and the brake pads diminish braking efficiency. Delayed braking action or poor braking efficiency must be reckoned with in the following situations: Riding in the rain or through puddles of water. After the motorcycle has been washed. Riding on salted or gritted roads. After work has been carried on the brakes, due to traces of oil or grease. Riding on dirt-covered surfaces or off-road. Wetness and dirt result in poor braking efficiency.
5 Riding 66 z Extend the centre stand and lift the motorcycle onto the stand. On a gradient, the motorcycle should always face uphill; select 1st gear. 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. 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 side stand.
Super unleaded, (max. 10 % Ethanol, E10) 95 ROZ/RON 89 AKI with straps used to secure the motorcycle are adequately protected against scratching, e.g. adhesive tape or soft cloths should be used for this purpose. 5 67 Usable fuel capacity Risk of damaging components. Take care not to trap components such as brake lines or wires. approx. 15 l Reserve fuel approx. 4 l Press the fuel tank cap down firmly to close. Remove the key and close the protective cap.
5 Riding 68 z 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 tightly front and rear.

Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS 70 How does ABS work? Engineering details 6 z The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors that 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, the 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 72 z take over and even BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to counteract their effects. Invariably, the rider bears responsibility for assessing road and traffic conditions and adopting his or her style of riding accordingly. Do not take risks that would negate the additional safety offered by this system.
Accelerating the motorcycle to a speed in excess of 5 km/h after switching the ignition off and then on again reactivates the ASC. 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.
6 Engineering details 74 z The control unit can administrate four sensors, so two different sets of wheels with RDC sensors can be alternated on the vehicle. An error message is issued if wheels without sensors are fitted to a motorcycle equipped with an RDC control unit. Tyre-pressure ranges The RDC control unit differentiates between three tyre-pressure ranges, all of which are parameterised for the motorcycle: Tyre pressure within permitted tolerance.
