Technical data

Locking handlebars
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.
However, the motorcycle is more
stable on a level surface with the
handlebars turned to the left than
with the handlebars turned to the
right.
On level ground, always turn the
handlebars to the left to set the
steering lock.
Turn handlebars to full left or
right lock position.
Turn key to position 3 while
moving handlebars slightly.
Ignition, lights and all electrical
circuits switched off.
Handlebars locked.
Key can now be removed.
EWS Electronic
immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronic cir-
cuitry monitors the data stored in
the key through a ring antenna
incorporated in the ignition lock.
The engine management system
does not enable engine starting
until the key has been recog-
nized as "authorized" for your
motorcycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
EWS warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store the spare key sepa-
rately from the ignition key.
If you lose a key, you can have it
disabled by your BMW Motorrad
partner. When having a key dis-
abled you should also bring all of
the motorcycle's remaining keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Replacement and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
