Safety instructions 42 Do not ride without the correct clothing. Always wear: Helmet Rider's suit Gloves Boots Correct loading This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year. Your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer will be happy to advise you and has the correct clothing for every purpose. Overloading and uneven loading can diminish the riding stability of the motorcycle. Do not exceed the gross weight limit and observe the loading information.
Catalytic converter If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage. For this reason, observe the following points: Do not run the fuel tank dry Do not run the engine with the spark—plug cap removed Stop the engine immediately if it misfires Use unleaded fuel only Comply with all specified maintenance intervals. Unburned fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Note the points listed for protection of the catalytic converter.
5 Riding 44 z Checklist Starting Use the following checklist to check important functions, settings and wear limits before you ride off.
Wait until coolant—temperature warning light no longer flashes if necessary. After the ignition is switched on, the idling positioner is positioned. If positioning takes longer than the pre—ride check, this is signaled by the coolant— temperature warning light flashing. You should wait for this procedure to be completed to avoid problems during driving. Engine starts. Consult the troubleshooting chart if the engine refuses to start. ( 100) Pre-ride check Press starter button 1.
5 Riding 46 z Then the instrument cluster assumes normal operation. If one of the specified warning and indicator lights was not switched on, or if not all segments of the multifunction display are switched on: If it was not possible to switch on the warning lights, possible malfunctions cannot be indicated. Watch all warning and indicator lights on the display. Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible by a specialized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Do not exceed gear—dependent top speeds during break—in period. Top speeds during break-in period 22 mph (35 km/h) (1st gear) 34 mph (55 km/h) (2nd gear) 47 mph (75 km/h) (3rd gear) 59 mph (95 km/h) (4th gear) 68 mph (110 km/h) (5th gear) Do not accelerate at full throttle. Avoid low engine speeds at full load. After 300 — 750 miles (500 — 1,200 km), have the first inspection performed.
5 Riding 48 z Use your left foot to extend side stand fully. the handlebars to the left to set the steering lock. Retract the side stand before moving the vehicle. The side stand is designed to support only the weight of the motorcycle. Do not lean or sit on the motorcycle with the side stand extended. Turn handlebars to full left or right lock position. Check that motorcycle is standing firmly. Sit on motorcycle and use your left foot to retract side stand.
Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Use only unleaded fuel. Make sure ground is level and firm and park the motorcycle. Refuel with quality listed below at most until lower edge of filler neck is reached. Recommended fuel type 95 ROZ/RON (Super unleaded) Usable fuel quantity 2.6 gal (10 l) Reserve fuel quantity 2.1 quarts ( 2 l) Mount fuel tank cap. Close fuel tank cap with ignition key by turning clockwise. Open fuel tank cap 1 with ignition key by turning counterclockwise.
5 Riding 50 z Salt on brakes Dirt or mud on brakes The full braking effect can be delayed if the motorcycle is ridden on saltcovered roads and the brakes are not applied for some time. Brake early until the salt layer of the brake disks and brake pads has been braked off. When the motorcycle is ridden on loose surfaces or muddy roads, the brakes may fail to take effect immediately because of dirt or moisture on the disks or brake pads. Brake early until the brakes are braked clean.
so that the running wheels turn in every imaginable case and the driving stability is ensured. After detecting the actual conditions, the system adjusts the optimum brake pressure. What happens when rough roads are encountered? How is the shortest braking distance achieved? Bumpy or rough roads can briefly lead to a loss of contact between the tires and the road surface, until the transferrable braking force is reduced to zero.
5 Riding 52 z ensuring a safety margin in genuine emergencies. Take care when cornering. When you apply the brakes on a corner, the motorcycle's weight and momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to counteract their effects. Rear wheel lift Even during severe braking, a high level of tire grip can mean that the front wheel does not lock up until very late, if at all. Consequently, ABS does not intervene until very late, if at all.
ABS function can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. 5 53 Any technical system is always only as good as its maintenance condition. To ensure that the BMW Motorrad ABS is in an optimally maintained condition, it is vital that the specified inspection intervals be complied with.
