Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots Riding 5 z Rider's equipment standard-height suspension (see the section entitled "Technical data"). Risk of accident by unexpectedly early contact with the ground. Bear in mind that lowered suspension limits the motorcycle's angle of heel and ground clearance. This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year.
topcase OA with Note the maximum permissible payload and the speed limit for riding with topcase fitted, as stated on the label inside the topcase. with tank rucksack OA Note the maximum permissible payload of the tank rucksack and the speed limit for riding with a tank rucksack on the motorcycle.
5 Riding 58 z Risk of burn injury Engine and exhaust system become very hot when the motorcycle is in use. There is a risk of burn injuries by contact with hot surfaces, particularly at the silencer. When you park the motorcycle make sure that no-one comes into contact with the engine and exhaust system. Catalytic converter If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage.
Starting Starting engine roll for a lengthy period of time or push it a long distance with the engine switched off. Switch on the ignition. Pre-ride check is performed. ( 60) with BMW Motorrad ABS OE ABS self-diagnosis is performed. ( 60) Select neutral or, if a gear is engaged, pull the clutch lever. You cannot start the motorcycle with the side stand extended and a gear engaged.
5 Riding 60 z Pre-ride check The instrument panel runs a test of the instruments and the telltale and warning lights when the ignition is switched on: this is the Pre-Ride-Check The test is aborted if you start the engine before it completes. Phase 1 The rev. counter and speedometer needles both swing to the limit values on their scales. At the same time, all the warning lights and telltale lights are switched on in succession. are switched off in reverse sequence.
Running in The first 1000 km While running in the motorcycle, vary the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently; avoid riding at constant engine rpm for prolonged periods. Try to do most of your riding during this initial period on twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoiding high-speed main roads and highways if possible. Comply with the rpm limits for running in. Running-in speed <5000 min-1 Do not omit the first inspection after 500 - 1200 km.
5 Redline warning Activating redline warning 62 them down until the reading changes. Off-roading Riding After off-roading z BMW Motorrad recommends checking the following after riding the motorcycle off-road: Tyre pressure The redline warning indicates that engine revolutions have reached the rev. counter's red segment. The anti-theft alarm telltale light 1 flashes red to indicate that the engine is redlining. The signal remains active until you shift up or reduce engine speed.
The brake pads will wear more rapidly if you ride frequently on unsurfaced tracks or poor roads. Check the thickness of the brake pads more frequently and replace the brake pads in good time. Spring preload and shockabsorber settings The off-road settings for spring preload and shock absorber damping characteristic will impair the motorcycle's handling characteristics on surfaced roads.

Under these circumstances the front wheel can lock up. with BMW Motorrad ABS OE BMW Motorrad ABS prevents the front wheel from locking up.
If the camber of the roadway permits, turn the handlebars all the way to the left. On a gradient, the motorcycle should always face uphill; select 1st gear. Centre stand with centre stand OE Switch off the engine. If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guarantee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. Excessive movements could cause the centre stand to retract, and the motorcycle would topple in consequence.
tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck. 66 When refuelling after running on reserve, make sure that you top up the tank to a level above reserve, as otherwise the sensor will not be able to register the new level. If the sensor cannot register the new level neither the fuel-level reading nor the range readout can be updated. Riding 5 z Use the ignition key to unlock the fuel filler cap and pop the cap open.
5 The motorcycle can topple and fall on its side. Make sure that the motorcycle cannot topple sideways. Push the motorcycle onto the transportation flat and hold it in position: do not place it on the side stand or centre stand. Risk of damaging components.

6 70 Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS with BMW Motorrad ABS OE Engineering details How does ABS work? z The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors hat include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean, dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance.
Within the limits imposed by physics, BMW Motorrad ABS ensures directional stability on any surface. The system is not optimised for special requirements that apply under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track. Special situations The speeds of the front and rear wheels are compared as one means of detecting a wheel's incipient tendency to lock.

Tyre pressure monitoring RDC The control unit can administrate four sensors, so two different sets of wheels with RDC sensors can be alternated on the motorcycle. An error message is issued if wheels without sensors are fitted to a motorcycle equipped with an RDC control unit.
Pressure adaptation Compare the RDC readings on the multifunction display with the value in the table on the inside cover of the Rider's Manual. Then use the air line to compensate for the difference between the RDC reading and the value in the table. Example: According to the Rider's Manual, tyre pressure should be 2.5 bar, but the reading in the multifunction display is 2.3 bar. The gauge on the air line shows 2.4 bar. You must now increase tyre pressure by the 0.
