If your motorcycle comes with equipment not described here, you can find the descriptions in a separate manual.
Technical Data
All dimensions, weights and performance data contained this Rider’s Manual refer to the German DIN standards and comply with their tolerance specifications. Versions for individual countries may differ.
Notice concerning current status
The outstanding levels of safety and quality furnished by every BMW motorcycle are the result of ongoing advanced development focusing on continuous improvement in design and engineering as well as equipment and accessories. Because of this, your motorcycle may differ from the information supplied in the Rider’s Manual. In addition, BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee the total absence of errors. We hope you will appreciate that no
claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

same time, the display is a warning. The affected tire pressure flashes.
If the level concerned is borderline in terms of the permissible tolerance, the general warning light lights up yellow. If the monitored tire inflation pressure is outside the specified range the general warning light will flash in red.
Further information on
BMW Motorrad TPC/RDC can be found starting from page
( 91).
Service display
If the time remaining until the next service will elapse within one month, the service date 1 appears briefly following the Pre- Ride-Check. The month and year are shown with two and four digits respectively separated by a colon. In this example the display means «June 2014.».
If the motorcycle covers high annual mileages then shorter service intervals may be required. When the odometer reading
for the recalculated early service falls to within 621 miles (1000 km), the remaining miles (kilometers) 1 are counted down in 62-miles steps (100-km
steps). They are briefly displayed following the Pre-Ride-Check.
When a service date elapses without service, the
universal warning light lights up in yellow, appearing together with the date and mileage (kilometer)
display. The «Service» message is displayed continuously.
NOTICE
If the service display appears more than a month before the service date, the stored date must be adjusted in the instrument cluster. This situation can occur if the battery has been disconnected for a longer time. Consult a certified workshop, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer, for setting of the date.
Fuel gage
Due to the complex fuel tank geometry, the fill level cannot be determined in the upper filling range. For this reason, the fuel level indicator only details the lower half of the filling range.
The 2 tip indicates that the fuel tank is more than half full.
If the fuel gage drops to the 1/ 2 mark 1, the fuel tank is still half full. Now, the fill level is exactly displayed.
If the fuel reserve has been reached, the low-fuel warning light is switched on.
Fuel reserve
The fuel quantity that is in the fuel tank when the low-fuel warning light switches on depends on the riding dynamics: the more substantially the fuel is moved in
the tank (as a result of frequently changing lean angles, frequent braking and acceleration), the more difficult it becomes to determine the fuel reserve. However, the fuel tank still contains at least the fuel reserve specified on the back cover.
After the low-fuel warning light is switched on, the
distance ridden since this point in time is indicated.
The distance that can still be traveled with the fuel reserve depends on the riding style (on the consumption) and on the fuel quantity that was still available at the time of switch-on (see previous explanation).
The odometer for the fuel reserve is reset when the fuel quantity after refueling is greater than the fuel reserve.
