428zOperation

If the motorcycle is to re-
main abroad for a lengthy
period, you can have the display
readouts changed from miles to
kilometers or vice versa, if neces-
sary. Under these circumstances
consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Press button 1. The display starts with the cur-
rent value and each time the but-
ton is pressed it moves one step
through the following sequence:
Odometer (
ODO

ment only when the motor-

430zOperation

with OE BMW Motorrad ABS:Switch on the ignition.
Pre-ride check is performed.
( 45)
ABS self-diagnosis is
performed. ( 46)
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 button
1.
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. ( 102)
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.
