Correct loading Do not ride your motorcycle after consuming alcohol, drugs and/or medication. Risk of poisoning Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless but highly toxic.
Risk of fire 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 attempt to start or run the engine with a spark-plug cap disconnected. Stop the engine immediately if it misfires. Use only unleaded fuel. Comply with all specified maintenance intervals. Temperatures at the exhaust are high. Unburned fuel will destroy the catalytic converter.

Gearbox You can start the engine when the gearbox is in neutral or if you pull the clutch with a gear engaged.
The start attempt is automatically interrupted if battery voltage is too low. Recharge the battery before you start the engine, or use jump leads and a donor battery to start. The engine starts. If the engine refuses to start, consult the troubleshooting chart in the section entitled "Technical data".
5 Riding 82 z Phase 2 Test of the wheel sensors as the motorcycle pulls away from rest. ABS warning light flashes. Possible national variant of the ABS warning light. 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. Bear in mind that neither the ABS function nor the integral braking function is available.
Test your motorcycle's angle of heel in situations that do not involve risk. When riding over kerbs and similar obstacles, bear in mind that your motorcycle's ground clearance is limited. Lowering the motorcycle's suspension shortens suspension travel (see the section entitled "Technical Data"). Ride comfort might be restricted as a result. Be sure to adjust spring preload accordingly, particularly for riding two-up.
cedure is essential if the tyres are to achieve maximum grip. 84 Tyres do not have their full grip when new and there is a risk of accidents at extreme angles of heel. Avoid extreme angles of heel. Riding 5 z 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 motorcycle decelerates, the more load is shifted to the front wheel.
Oil or grease on brakes Oil and grease on the brake discs and pads considerably diminish braking efficiency. Especially after repair and maintenance work, make sure that the brake discs and brake pads are free of oil and grease. Dirt or mud on brakes When riding on loose surfaces or muddy roads, the brakes may fail to take effect immediately because of dirt or moisture on the discs or brake pads. Apply the brakes in good time until the brakes have been cleaned.
5 Check that the motorcycle is standing firmly. 86 On a gradient, the motorcycle should always face uphill; select 1st gear. Riding Lock the steering lock. z Removing motorcycle from side stand Unlock the steering lock. From the left, grip the handlebars with both hands. Pull the handbrake lever. Swing your right leg over the seat and lift the motorcycle to the upright position. Hold the motorcycle upright and balanced.
Fuel is highly flammable. A naked flame close to the fuel tank can cause a fire or explosion. Do not smoke. Never bring a naked flame near the fuel tank. Fuel expands when hot. Fuel escaping from an overfilled tank could make its way onto the rear tyre. This could cause a fall. Do not fill the tank past the bottom edge of the filler neck. Fuel attacks plastics, which become dull or unsightly. Wipe off plastic parts immediately if they come into contact with fuel.
5 88 Usable fuel capacity approx. 27 l Riding Reserve fuel z ≥4 l Press the fuel tank cap down firmly to close. Remove the key and close the protective cap. 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. The motorcycle can topple and fall on its side.
5 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 92 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 94 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 or slippery 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 offroad or on the track.
6 Engineering details 96 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 pressures shown by the multifunction display. 6 Tyre pressure is a temperaturesensitive variable: pressure increases as tyre temperature rises and decreases as tyre temperature drops. Tyre temperature depends on ambient temperature, on the style of riding and the duration of the ride. The tyre-pressure readings shown by the multifunction display are temperaturecompensated; the reference tyre temperature for these readings is always 20 °C.

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. The use of unsuitable cleaning and care products can damage vehicle components.
Chrome Soften stubborn dirt and insects by covering the affected areas with a wet cloth. Clean the radiator regularly to prevent overheating of the engine due to inadequate cooling. For example, use a garden hose with low water pressure. Windscreen Clean off dirt and insects with a soft sponge and plenty of water. Fuel and chemical solvents attack the material of the windscreen; the windscreen becomes opaque or dull. Do not use cleaning agents.
9 Care 142 z Remove stains of this kind immediately, using cleaning-grade benzene or petroleum spirit on a clean cloth or ball of cotton wool. BMW Motorrad recommends BMW tar remover for removing specks of tar. Remember to wax the parts treated in this way. Protective wax coating BMW Motorrad recommends applying only BMW car wax or products containing carnauba wax or synthetic wax. It is time to rewax the paintwork when water "puddles" on the surface, instead of forming beads.
