matically interrupted if bat-
tery voltage is too low. Recharge

BulbsGeneral instructionsThe failure of a bulb is signalled
in the display by the defect-
ive lamp symbol. The bulbs for
brake light and rear light are the
same; the brightness of the light
is regulated in accordance with
the application.A defective bulb places
your safety at risk because
it is easier for other users to
oversee the motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always carry a
complete set of spare bulbs if
possible.
The bulb is pressurised and
can cause injury if dam-
aged.
Wear protective goggles and
gloves when changing bulbs. The types of bulb fitted to
your motorcycle are listed
in the section entitled "Technical
data".
Do not touch the glass of
new bulbs with your fingers.
Use a clean, dry cloth to hold
the bulbs when handling them.
Dirt deposits, in particular oil and
grease, interfere with heat radi-
ation from the bulb. This leads
to overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
Replacing low-beam and
high-beam headlight bulb
If it is not standing firmly,
the motorcycle could topple
in the course of the operations
described below.
Always make sure that the
motorcycle is stable and firmly
supported. with OE Xenon lights:
Xenon lights operate with
high voltage; incorrect
working procedures can result in
fatalities.
Have all work on the xenon light
system, including the work in-
volved in replacing bulbs, per-
formed by a specialist work-
shop, preferably by an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
For the time being, ride with
the high-beam headlight
switched on.
In order not to dazzle oncom-
ing traffic, set the headlight
beam throw adjuster to the po-
sition for riding with maximum
payload.
Have the bulb replaced as
soon as possible by a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.

8125zMaintenance

BatteryMaintenance instructionsCorrect upkeep, recharging and
storage will prolong the life of
the battery and are essential if
warranty claims are to be con-
sidered.
Compliance with the points be-
low is important in order to max-
imise battery life:Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry
Do not open the battery
Do not top up with water
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for char-
ging the battery on the follow-
ing pages
Do not turn the battery upside
down
If the battery is not discon-
nected, the on-board elec-
tronics (e.g. clock, etc.) gradually
drain the battery. This can cause
the battery to run flat. If this hap- pens, warranty claims will not be
accepted.
If the motorcycle is to be out of
use for more than four weeks,
disconnect the battery or con-
nect a suitable trickle charger to
the battery.
BMW Motorrad has de-
veloped a float charger spe-
cially designed for compatibility
with the electronics of your mo-
torcycle. Using this charger, you
can keep the battery charged
during long periods of disuse,
without having to disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle's
on-board systems. You can ob-
tain additional information from
your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Charging battery when
connected
Charging the connected
battery directly at the bat-
tery terminals can damage the
vehicle electronics.
Always disconnect the battery
from the on-board circuits be-
fore recharging it with a charger
connected directly to the battery
posts.
If you switch on the igni-
tion and the multifunction
display and telltale lights fail to
light up, the battery is completely
flat. Attempting to charge a com-
pletely flat battery via the on-
board socket can cause damage
to the motorcycle's electronics.
If a battery has discharged to the
extent that it is completely flat, it
has to be disconnected from the
on-board circuits and charged
with the charger connected dir-
ectly to the battery posts.
