Safety instructions 66 Do not ride without the correct clothing. Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots Riding 5 z Rider's equipment This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year. Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer will be glad to advise you on the correct clothing for every purpose. Loading Overloading and imbalanced loads can adversely affect the motorcycle's handling.
Payload of tankbag ≤5 kg Maximum permissible speed for riding with the tankbag fitted to the motorcycle ≤130 km/h Speed If you ride at high speed, always bear in mind that various boundary conditions can adversely affect the handling of your motorcycle: Settings of the spring-strut and shock-absorber system Imbalanced load Loose clothing Insufficient tyre pressure Poor tyre tread Etc. Risk of poisoning Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless but highly toxic.
5 Riding 68 z Unburned fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Note the points listed for protection of the catalytic converter. damages to the components in question and lead to failure of safety-relevant functions. Damage caused in this way is not covered by the warranty. Do not tamper with the motorcycle in any way that could result in tuned performance.
Consult the troubleshooting chart below if the engine refuses to start. ( 128) Pre-ride check The instrument panel runs a test of the 'General' warning light when the ignition is switched on: this is the "Pre-Ride-Check". The test is aborted if you start the engine before it completes. For initialisation, the exhaust flap is opened fully once and then closed again. Press starter button 1. The start attempt is automatically interrupted if battery voltage is too low.
5 Riding 70 z Phase 1 Test of the diagnosis-compatible system components with the motorcycle at a standstill. ABS warning light flashes. Phase 2 Test of the wheel sensors as the motorcycle pulls away from rest. The motorcycle must reach a speed of at least 5 km/h in order for ABS self-diagnosis to complete. ABS warning light flashes. ABS self-diagnosis completed The ABS warning light goes out. If an indicator showing an ABS fault appears when ABS self-diagnosis completes: You can continue to ride.
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 <7000 min-1 Do not omit the first inspection after 500 - 1200 km.
Shift assistance is not available in the following situations: Gearshifts with the clutch pressed Gearshifts with the throttle valve closed (engine overrun) Downshifts 5 Riding 72 z Brakes Sensor 1 in the shift linkage registers the shift request and triggers shift assistance. When you are riding at constant speed with the engine revving high in a low gear, upshifting without disengaging the clutch can cause a severe reaction to the load change.
Wet and dirty brakes Wetness and dirt on the brake discs and the brake pads diminish braking efficiency. Delayed braking action or poor braking efficiency must be reckoned with in the following situations: Riding in the rain or through puddles of water. After the motorcycle has been washed. Riding on salted or gritted roads. After work has been carried on the brakes, due to traces of oil or grease. Riding on dirt-covered surfaces or off-road. Wetness and dirt result in poor braking efficiency.
5 Riding 74 z 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. Do not lean or sit on the motorcycle with the centre stand extended. Do not smoke. Never bring a naked flame near the fuel tank. Fuel attacks plastics, which become dull or unsightly.
Recommended fuel grade Premium plus unleaded 98 ROZ/RON 91 AKI Usable fuel capacity approx. 19 l Reserve fuel approx. 4 l Press the fuel tank cap down firmly to close. Remove the key and close the fuel-tank lock cover. 5 75 Securing motorcycle for transportation Make sure that all components that might come into contact with straps used to secure the motorcycle are adequately protected against scratching. Use adhesive tape or soft cloths, for example, for this purpose.
5 Riding 76 z Risk of damaging components. Take care not to trap components such as brake lines or wires. At the front, place the strap over the frame and route it downwards. Feed the strap forwards through the wheel carrier and tighten it downwards. At the rear, secure the straps to the rear footrests on both sides and tighten the straps. Tighten all the straps uniformly; the motorcycle's suspension should be compressed as tightly as possible front and rear.

6 78 Brake system with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Engineering details Partially integral brakes z 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. While the brakes are slowing the motorcycle, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts braking-force distribution between front and rear brakes to suit the load on the motorcycle.
What feedback does the rider receive from the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS? If the ABS system 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.
6 Engineering details 80 z exceptional riding conditions can lead to a fault message being issued. Exceptional riding conditions: Heating up with the motorcycle on the centre stand or an auxiliary stand, engine idling or with a gear engaged. Rear wheel locked by the engine brake for a lengthy period, for example while descending on a loose surface.
BMW Motorrad 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 off-road or on the track.
6 Engineering details 82 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.
The tyre-pressure readings shown by the multifunction display are temperaturecompensated; the reference tyre temperature for these readings is always 20 °C. The air lines available to the public in petrol stations and motorway service areas have gauges that do not compensate for temperature; the reading shown by a gauge of this nature is the temperaturedependent tyre pressure. In most instances, therefore, these gauge readings will not tally with the pressures shown by the multifunction display.
6 Engineering details 84 z The combination of spring mount, suspension and spring rate ensure that the suspension geometry is always perfectly adjusted. The static normal position is almost maintained even while riding. The different riding conditions and load statuses are compensated, so that the handling of the motorcycle remains constant.
