Comply with the tyre-specific speed restrictions. Affix a label stating the maximum permissible speed in the rider's field of vision. Risk of poisoning Catalytic converter Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless but highly toxic.
6 Riding 92 z Risk of overheating ATTENTION Engine running for prolonged period with vehicle at standstill. Overheating due to insufficient cooling. In extreme cases, the motorcycle could catch fire. Do not allow the engine to idle unnecessarily. Ride away immediately after starting the engine. Tampering ATTENTION Tampering with the motorcycle (e.g. engine management ECU, throttle valves, clutch). Damage to the affected parts, failure of safety-relevant functions.
Pre-ride check NOTICE You cannot start the motorcycle with the side stand extended and a gear engaged. The engine will switch itself off if you start it with the gearbox in neutral and then engage a gear before retracting the side stand. For a cold engine start and low temperatures: pull clutch. Press starter button 1. NOTICE The start attempt is automatically interrupted if battery voltage is too low.

6 96 Mileage until the running-in check 500...1200 km Riding Brake pads z New brake pads have to bed down before they can achieve their optimum friction levels. You can compensate for this initial reduction in braking efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the levers. WARNING New brake pads. Longer stopping distance. Risk of accident. Apply the brakes in good time. Tyres New tyres have a smooth surface.
Brakes How can stopping distance be minimised? Each time the brakes are applied, a load distribution shift takes place with the load shifting forward from the rear to the front wheel. The sharper the vehicle decelerates, the more load is shifted to the front wheel. The higher the wheel load, the more braking force can be transmitted without the wheel locking. To optimise stopping distance, apply the front brakes rapidly and keep on increasing the force you apply to the brake lever.
6 98 BMW Motorrad Integral ABS prevents the front wheel from locking up. Riding Descending mountain passes z WARNING Braking only with the rear brake on mountain descents. Brake fade. Destruction of the brakes due to overheating. Use both front and rear brakes, and make use of the engine's braking effect as well. Wet and dirty brakes Wetness and dirt on the brake discs and the brake pads diminish braking efficiency.
Centre stand with centre stand OE Switch off the engine. ATTENTION Poor ground underneath the stand. Risk of damage to parts if vehicle topples. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. ATTENTION Centre stand retracts due to severe movements. Risk of damage to parts if vehicle topples. Do not lean or sit on the vehicle with the centre stand extended. Extend the centre stand and lift the motorcycle onto the stand.

7 Engineering details 106 z General instructions To find out more about engineering go to: bmw-motorrad.com/technology Anti-lock brake system Partially integral brakes Your motorcycle is equipped with partially integral brakes. Both front and rear brakes are applied when you pull the handbrake lever. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake.
What feedback does the rider receive from the ABS? If the ABS has to reduce braking force on account of the circumstances described above, vibration is perceptible through the handbrake lever. When the handbrake lever is pulled, brake pressure is also built up at the rear wheel by the integral function.
7 Engineering details 108 z gnosis has to complete before fault messages can be issued.
What is the design baseline for the ASC? The ASC is designed as an assistant system for the rider and for use on public roads. The extent to which the rider affects ASC control can be considerable (weight shifts when cornering, items of luggage loose on the motorcycle), especially when style of riding takes rider and machine close to the limits imposed by physics. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations on the track.
7 Engineering details 110 z If the front wheel lifts clear of the ground under severe acceleration, the ASC reduces engine torque until the front wheel regains contact with the ground. Under these circumstances, BMW Motorrad recommends rolling the throttle slightly closed so as to restore stability with the least possible delay. When riding on a slippery surface, never snap the throttle twistgrip fully closed without pulling the clutch at the same time.
Special situations In accordance with the laws of physics, the ability to accelerate is restricted more and more as the angle of heel increases. Consequently, there can be a perceptible reduction in acceleration out of very tight bends. The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared and the angle of heel taken into account as one means of detecting the rear wheel's incipient tendency to spin or slip sideways.
7 Engineering details 112 z When riding on a slippery surface, never snap the throttle twistgrip fully closed without pulling the clutch at the same time. Engine braking torque can cause the rear wheel to skid, with a corresponding loss of stability. The DTC is unable to control a situation of this nature. Dynamic ESA with Dynamic ESA OE Possible settings Dynamic ESA enables you to adjust your motorcycle's suspension to suit the load and the road conditions.
ROAD mode ASC/DTC system intervention is later than in RAIN mode. On road surfaces with high to medium grip (dry and wet asphalt to dry cobblestones) the motorcycle remains stable. Slight rear-wheel drift is perceptible. Movements of the tail are clearly perceptible on slippery road surfaces (wet bitumen or wet cobblestones). with Pro riding modes OE DYNAMIC mode The DYNAMIC mode is the sportiest mode.

Minimum speed for transmission of the RDC measured values: min 30 km/h The display shows -- for each tyre until the tyre-pressure signal is received for the first time. The sensors continue to transmit the measured-value signals for some time after the vehicle comes to a stop.
Example According to the Rider's Manual, the tyre pressure should be: 2.5 bar The multifunction display shows the following reading: 2.3 bar So pressure is low by: 0.2 bar The gauge on the air line shows: 2.4 bar You must now increase tyre pressure until the value is: Example 2.6 bar Shift assistant Pro with Pro shift assistant OE Your vehicle is fitted with the Pro shift assistant, a system originally developed for racing.
7 Engineering details 116 z assistant can take place. When shifting gears with the Pro shift assistant, the rider has to keep load state (throttle twistgrip position) constant before and during the gearshift. A change in the position of the throttle twistgrip during a gearshift can cause the function to abort and/or lead to a missed shift. The Pro shift assistant provides no assistance for the gearshift if the rider declutches.

Wheel size is very important as a parameter for the frame and suspension control systems ABS and ASC/DTC. In particular, the diameter and the width of the vehicle's wheels are programmed into the control unit and are fundamental to all calculations.

10 Care 166 z Care products Washing the vehicle BMW Motorrad recommends that you use the cleaning and care products you can obtain from your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer. The substances in BMW CareProducts have been tested in laboratories and in practice; they provide optimised care and protection for the materials used in your vehicle. BMW Motorrad recommends that you use BMW insect remover to soften and wash off insects and stubborn dirt on painted parts prior to washing the vehicle.
Plastics ATTENTION Use of unsuitable cleaning agents. Damage to plastic surfaces. Do not use cleaning agents that contain alcohol, solvents or abrasives. Do not use insect-remover pads or cleaning pads with hard, scouring surfaces. Body panels Clean the trim panels with water and BMW plastic care emulsion. Windscreens and lenses made of plastic and metal cover on centre trim panel Clean off dirt and insects with a soft sponge and plenty of water.
10 Care 168 z your vehicle is ridden in areas with high air pollution or natural sources of dirt, for example tree resin or pollen. However, particularly aggressive substances (e.g. spilt fuel, oil, grease, brake fluid and bird droppings) must be removed immediately, as the paint could otherwise be affected or become discoloured. BMW Motorrad recommends using BMW vehicle polish or BMW paint cleaner for this purpose. Marks on the paintwork are particularly easy to see after the vehicle has been washed.
