We hope you will appreciate that no

claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.

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.
