the fault rectified as soon
as possible by a special-
ist workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Engine electronics General warning light
lights up yellow.
Engine electronics sym-
bol appears on the dis-
play.
The engine is running
in emergency operating
mode. Engine power might
be reduced and this can
cause hazardous situations,
particularly if you attempt to
overtake other road users.
Engine power level might be
lower than normal: adapt your
style of riding accordingly. The engine electronics control
unit has diagnosed a fault. In
exceptional cases, the engine
stops and refuses to start.
Otherwise, the engine runs in
emergency operating mode.
You can continue to ride,
but bear in mind that the
usual engine power might
not be available.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Insufficient engine oil
pressure General warning light
flashes red.
Engine oil pressure sym-
bol appears on the dis-
play.
The oil pressure in the lube-
oil system is too low. Stop immediately and switch off
the engine if the warning light
shows.
The insufficient oil
pressure warning does
not fulfil the function of an
oil gauge. The only way of
checking whether the oil level
is correct is to check the oil
level indicator.
A low oil level is one reason
why a warning indicating in-
sufficient oil pressure is is-
sued.
Checking engine oil level
( 87)
If the oil level is too low: Top up the engine oil ( 88)
If the warning indicating in-
sufficient engine oil level is
issued and a check indicates
that the engine oil level is cor-
rect:

are very low, you might
find it necessary to open the
throttle slightly when starting
the engine. At ambient tem-

The start attempt is
automatically interrupted
if battery voltage is too low.

Pre-ride checkThe instrument cluster runs
a test of the 'General' warn-

ing light shows first red and
then yellow, so that you can
check that it is in working or-
der. This pre-ride check is in-
dicated by the word
