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. Engine starts. Consult the troubleshooting chart if the engine refuses to start.
5 Riding 64 z Phase 1 Check on system components monitored by diagnostic system while vehicle is parked. ABS warning light flashes. Phase 2 Checking wheel sensors while starting off. The motorcycle must reach a speed of at least 3 mph (5 km/h) before the ABS self-diagnosis routine can be completed. ABS warning light flashes. ABS self-diagnosis completed The ABS warning lamp goes out.
Engine run-in speed <7000 min-1 Have the first inspection carried out after 300 - 750 mls (500 1200 km). Breaking in Brake pads The first 600 mls (1000 km) New brake pads must be run in before they achieve their optimum friction force. This initial reduction in braking efficiency can be compensated for by exerting greater pressure on the brake levers. While running in the motorcycle, vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently; avoid driving for long periods at a constant speed.
5 Riding 66 speed ranges. During acceleration the throttle valve can remain open, and the shifting time is reduced to a minimum. The gears are shifted into as usual with foot force on the shift lever. z upshifting with clutch operation in these driving situations. The shifting assistant should not be used in the area of the revlimiter.
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. Use both front and rear brakes, and make use of the engine's braking effect as well. with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Generation II OE There is a danger of the brakes fading if you use only the rear brakes when descending mountain passes.
5 Riding 68 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. If the slope of the road permits, turn the handlebars to the left. On a grade, the motorcycle should always face uphill; select 1st gear. Center stand with center stand Generation II OA Switch off engine. If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guarantee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand.
Recommended fuel quality Fuel expands when exposed to heat. When the tank is overfilled, fuel can escape and get onto the road. This results in a danger of falling. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Use only unleaded fuel. Refuel with quality listed below at most until lower edge of filler neck is reached.
5 Riding 70 z Components can be damaged. Do not pinch components, e.g. brake lines or wiring harnesses. Place front strap over the frame and route downward. Guide the strap through the wheel carrier toward the front and tension downward. Fasten straps at rear on both sides on passenger footrests and tighten them. Tension all straps evenly; the motorcycle should be pulled down against its springs with the suspension compressed as much as possible.

6 72 Brake system with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Technology in detail Partially integral brake z Your motorcycle is equipped with a partially integral brake configuration. Both front and rear brakes are applied simultaneously when you pull the handbrake lever. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake. The BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts the braking force distribution between the front and rear wheel brake to the loading of the motorcycle during braking.
If the ABS system must reduce the braking forces due to the conditions described above, then vibrations can be felt at the handbrake lever. If the handbrake lever is pulled, then braking pressure is built up at the rear wheel with the integral function. If the footbrake pedal is first actuated after this, the brake pressure already built up can be felt earlier than the counter-pressure, than when the footbrake pedal is actuated before or together with the handbrake lever.
6 Technology in detail 74 z Should a fault message result due to one of the driving conditions described above, the ABS function can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. How important is regular maintenance? Any technical system is always only as good as its maintenance condition. To ensure that the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS is in an optimally maintained condition, it is vital that the specified inspection intervals be complied with.
At an increasing angle, the acceleration performance is increasingly limited in accordance with physical laws. This can result in delayed acceleration when coming out of very tight curves. To detect spinning or slipping away of the rear wheel, the speeds of the front and rear wheel are compared. If implausible values are detected over a longer period of time, the ASC function is deactivated for safety reasons and an ASC fault is indicated. The condition for a fault message is the completed self-diagnosis.
6 Technology in detail 76 z til a speed of approx. 18 mph (30 km/h) is reached. Before initial reception of the tire inflation pressure, -- is shown in the display for each tire. The sensors continue to transmit the measured values for approx. 15 minutes after the motorcycle comes to a stop. The control unit can manage four sensors, and as a result two sets of wheels with TPC/RDC sensors can be driven.
ESA II Electronic Suspension Adjustment with Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA II) OE Chassis adjustments The proper type of loading must first be selected when the motorcycle is stationary according to the motorcycle's load. Depending on the damping selected for this purpose, the damping levels are set on both spring struts and the spring base and spring rate are set on the rear spring strut.
