ous situation can result if the
engine cuts out unexpectedly.
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
The estimated residual
range appears on the
display.
The fuel tank contains no
more than the reserve quant-
ity of fuel.

General warning light
lights up red.

Continuing to ride when
the engine is overheated
could result in engine dam-
age.
You must comply with the in-
structions below.
The coolant temperature is
too high.
If possible, ride in the part-
load range to cool down the
engine.
In traffic jams, switch off the
engine, but leave the igni-
tion switched on so that the
radiator fan continues to op-
erate.

pressure is on the left; the
reading on the right is the
rear tyre pressure. If your
motorcycle is not fitted with
an on-board computer,
the tyre-pressure readings
and the odometer readings
alternate.Residual rangeThe residual-range readout1
indicates how far you can ride
with the fuel remaining in the
tank. On a motorcycle not
equipped with an on-board
computer, this reading is not
displayed until fuel level has dropped to reserve. This dis-
tance is calculated on the
basis of fuel level and average
consumption.
When you refuel, the increase
in fuel level is not registered
unless several litres are ad-
ded to the fuel already in the
tank.
The residual range is
only an approximate
reading. Consequently, BMW
Motorrad recommends that
you should not try to use the
full residual range before
refuelling.
