The tripmeter is reset to

Residual rangeThe residual-range readout 1
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.
ClockSet the clock
Attempting to set the
clock while riding the
motorcycle can lead to ac-

An ice warning appears
if the ambient-temper-

reading when the temperature
drops below this threshold
for the first time. The reading
flashes until you select some
other display mode.
Calculating average

on basis of the time elapsed
since the last RESET. Times
during which the engine was

RangeThe description of the
residual-range function
( 44) also covers the
residual-range readout.
You can also view range1
before the fuel level drops to
reserve. A special average-
consumption figure is used to
calculate range; this figure is
not necessarily the same as
the value you can call up for
viewing on the display.
The calculated range
is only an approximate
reading. Consequently, BMW Motorrad recommends that
you should not try to use the
full range before refuelling.
Oil levelOil-level indicator
1gives you
an indication of the engine oil
level.
The preconditions for the oil
level check are as follows:
Engine idling (for at least 10
seconds).
Engine at operating temper-
ature. Side stand retracted.
The readings mean:
OK
: Oil level is correct.
CHECK
: Check the oil level.
---
: Oil level cannot be
measured (conditions as
stated above not satisfied).
The most recently measured
level is displayed for 5
seconds when you next
switch on the ignition.
The oil sensor might be
defective if the "Check
oil level" message reappears
even though the oil level in
the oil sight glass is correct.
In this case, consult your
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

Electronic Suspension
Adjustment ESA
OE
SettingsElectronic Suspension Ad-
justment ESA provides a con-
venient way of adapting the
motorcycle to different condi-
tions. Three spring preload
settings can be combined
with three damping charac-
teristics to fine-tune the mo-
torcycle's suspension to the
load it carries and the surface
over which you want to ride.
The damping characteristic is
shown in panel 1of the mul- tifunction display, and spring
preload in panel
2.
The odometer readings are
not shown while the ESA
readout is active.
