About this Rider’s Manual
We have tried to make all the information in this Rider’s Manual easy to find.
The quickest access to a particular topic or item is by consulting the detailed alphabetical index at the end. The first chapter of this Rider’s Manual will provide you with an initial overview of your motorcycle.
When the time comes to sell your BMW, please remember to hand over this Rider’s Manual; it is, by law, an important part of the vehicle.
This symbol indicates precautions and measures which are essential in protecting the rider and other persons from severe or fatal injury.
Instructions and precautions specifically intended to prevent damage to the motorcycle. Disregarding them may render the warranty invalid.
Special information on operating and inspecting your motorcycle as well as maintenance and adjustment procedures.

Custom equipment
When you ordered your BMW motorcycle, you chose various items of custom equipment. This Rider’s Manual describes all the optional equipment (OE) and selected optional accessories (OA) that BMW offers for this model series.
This explains why the manual may also contain descriptions of equipment which you have not ordered.
If your BMW was supplied with equipment not described in this Rider’s Manual (such as a radio or anti-theft alarm, for example), you will find these features described in separate manuals.
Technical specifications
All dimensions, weights and power ratings stated in the Rider’s Manual are quoted to the standards and comply with the tolerance requirements
of the Deutsche Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN). Configurations for individual countries may differ.

5 Introduction
Currency
The high safety and quality standards of BMW motorcycles are maintained by unceasing development work on designs, equipment and accessories. Because of this, your motorcycle may differ from the information supplied in the Rider’s Manual. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. We hope you will appreciate that no legal claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.
For your own safety
Use only parts and accessories approved by BMW for your motorcycle.
Parts and products approved for your motorcycle by BMW have been checked for safety, function and suitability.
BMW accepts product liability for these products. Conversely, BMW is unable to accept any liability whatsoever for parts and accessories which it has not approved.
Safety information
Genuine BMW parts and accessories and other products which BMW has approved can be obtained from your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer, together with expert advice on their installation and use.
BMW cannot assess every product of outside origin in order to decide whether it can be used on or with a BMW vehicle without constituting a safety hazard.
Even approval by an official inspection authority such as the TÜV in Germany, or an official permit (General Operating Permit) cannot always provide this guarantee.
The right clothing
To reach your destination safely every time, there’s only one choice:
•Helmet
•Suit
•Gloves
•Boots
It’s foolish to ride without the right clothing. This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year.
Your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer will be happy to provide advice and tell you about the latest developments, and help you select the right clothing for your purpose.
Safety information
Service
For safety reasons and to maintain the value of your motorcycle, regular maintenance intervals have been laid down. Always keep to the specified maintenance intervals. This is the only way to ensure that warranty claims are not invalidated. Your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer can provide information on the currently specified Service, Inspection and Annual Inspection needed, or you can fetch the information from the Internet whenever you want by visiting “www.bmw-motorrad.com/ maintenance”.
Important:
BMW refuses to accept liability for damage or consequential damage due to repairs or service work performed by other than BMW-authorized workshops.
Consequently, we advise you to have service and inspection work performed by your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer’s specially trained, expert personnel, and confirmed by an entry in the “Service” section of this Rider’s Manual. Authorized BMW Motorrad retailers are supplied with the latest technical information and have the necessary technical know-how and specially trained staff.
Please do not hesitate to contact your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer on all matters concerning your motorcycle. Authorized BMW Motorrad retailers are fully informed about all aspects of your motorcycle and will gladly advise and assist you.
Best wishes,
BMW Motorrad

Electronic immobilizer (EWS)
3
30
Operation
In-key security
The electronic immobilizer helps protect your BMW motorcycle from theft, and this enhanced security is at your disposal without any need for you to set parameters or activate additional systems. The engine of a motorcycle fitted with this electronic immobilizer can be started only with the keys that belong to the vehicle. You can also have your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer bar individual keys, for example if a particular key goes missing. The engine cannot be started with a key that has been barred.
Function
An electronic component is integrated into each of your keys.
The motorcycle’s electronics exchange certain continuously changing signals with the electronics in the key; these signals are specific to your motorcycle and they are transmitted by the ignition switch. Ignition, fuel supply and starter are not enabled for starting until the key has been recognized as “authorized” for your motorcycle.
Electronic immobilizer (EWS)
3
31
Operation
A spare key attached to the same ring as the ignition key used to start the engine could “irritate” the electronics, in which case the enabling signal for ignition, fuel supply and starter is not issued. Under these circumstances the motorcycle will refuse to start. Consequently, always keep the spare key or keys separate from the ignition key.
Similarly, physical force could damage the ignition key’s integral electronics. If this happens, you will not be able to start the engine.
Spare/extra keys
You can obtain spare/extra keys only through an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. The keys are part of an integrated security system, so the retailer is under an obligation to check the legitimacy of all applications for spare/extra keys.
If you want to have a key barred, you have to bring along all the keys that belong to the motorcycle.
A key that has been barred can subsequently be cleared and reactivated for use.

Hazard warning flashers
You cannot activate the hazard warning flashers if the ignition is switched off.
Do not use the hazard warning flashers for longer than absolutely necessary.
Note state of battery charge.

Tripmaster
3
34 1
Operation
You can activate the Tripmaster only when the ignition is switched on, in other words when the ignition key is in the U position.
When you switch on the ignition, the information shown by the Tripmaster when the ignition was switched off always reappears on the multifunction display.
•Each time you briefly
press button 1 on the left handlebar fitting, you step from one function to the next in the following sequence:
–A Total distance covered
–B Tripmeter reading 1
–C Tripmeter reading 2
–D Residual range
Residual range
This reading appears only when the fuel level drops to reserve. The range is estimated on the basis of style of riding and taking the remaining supply of available fuel into account.
If the motorcycle is resting on its side stand the level in the tank cannot be measured correctly, so this estimate of residual operating range will be inaccurate. The display shows residual range in km or miles (depending on the national-market version). Also observe the reading of fuel-level gauge 2 (b 19, 79).
The Tripmaster registers that you have refueled when approximately 3.2 qt (3 liters) have been added.

Headlight setting RHD/ LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a country where the opposite rule of the road applies, its asymmetric low beam will tend to dazzle oncoming traffic. Consult a specialized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW motorcycle retailer, to have the headlight adjusted to suit whichever rule of the road applies.
Adhesive films with unsuitable adhesives can damage the headlight lens.
Headlight beam throw adjustment
Headlight beam throw is kept constant when spring preload is adjusted to suit load.
For instructions on adjusting spring-strut and shockabsorber settings to suit load, (b 50-52).
Consult a specialized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW motorcycle retailer, if you are unsure whether the headlight basic setting is correct.
