with OE BMW Motorrad ABS:
Switch on the ignition.
Pre-ride check is performed.
( 47)
ABS self-diagnosis is
performed. ( 48)
Wait until the warning light for
the coolant temperature stops
flashing.
The idle actuator is posi-
tioned after you switch on
the ignition. The coolant-tem-
perature warning light flashes
if the idle actuator has not cor-
rectly positioned before the pre-
ride check completes. In order
to avoid subsequent problems,
wait for this process to complete
before proceeding.Press starter button1.
If ambient temperatures are
very low, you might find it
necessary to open the throttle
slightly when starting the engine.
At ambient temperatures below
0 °C, disengage the clutch after
switching on the ignition.
If the engine fails to start
even though the starter
turns, insufficient battery voltage
might be causing the problem.
Recharge the battery before you
start the engine, or use jump
leads and a donor battery to
start.The engine starts.
Consult the troubleshooting
chart below if the engine re-
fuses to start. ( 108)
Pre-ride checkThe instrument cluster runs a
test of the instruments and the
warning lights and telltale lights
and the display when the igni-
tion is switched on. This test is
known as the "Pre-Ride-Check".
Phase 1
All the telltale and warning lights
are switched on briefly, along
with all the segments of the mul-
tifunction display.
Phase 2
The tyre parameters stored in
the memory of the instrument
cluster appear briefly on the dis-
play.
The instrument cluster then
reverts to its normal operating
mode.

Jump starting
The wires leading to the
power socket do not have
a load-capacity rating adequate
for jump-starting the engine. Ex-
cessively high current can lead
to a cable fire or damage to the
vehicle electronics.
Do not use the on-board socketto jump-start the engine of the
motorcycle.
Touching live parts of the
ignition system with the
engine running can cause electric
shock.
Do not touch parts of the igni-
tion system when the engine is
running.
A short-circuit can res-
ult if the crocodile clips
of the jump leads are accident-
ally brought into contact with the
motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with
fully insulated crocodile clips at
both ends.
Jump-starting with a donor-
battery voltage higher than
12 V can damage the vehicle
electronics.
Make sure that the battery of the
donor vehicle has a voltage rating
of 12 V.

When jump-starting the engine,
do not disconnect the battery
from the on-board electrical
system.
Disengage rubber retaining
strap1from the holder at the
bottom and pull battery2partly
out.
Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.Begin by connecting one end
of the red jump lead to posit-
ive terminal3of the discharged
battery and the other end to
the positive terminal of the
donor battery.
Then connect one end of the
black jump lead to the negative
terminal of the donor battery,
and the other end to a suitable
grounding point on this motor-
cycle.
Start the engine of the vehicle
with the discharged battery
in the usual way; if the en-
gine does not start, wait a few
minutes before repeating theattempt in order to protect the
starter motor and the donor
battery.
Allow both engines to idle for a
few minutes before disconnect-
ing the jump leads.
Disconnect the jump lead from
the negative terminal and the
ground point first, then dis-
connect the second jump lead
from positive terminal3.
Do not use proprietary
start-assist sprays or oth-
er products to start the engine.

BatteryMaintenance instructionsCorrect upkeep, recharging and
storage will prolong the life of
the battery and are essential if
warranty claims are to be con-
sidered.
