2007 BMW MOTORRAD K 1200 R display

If you prefer, you can use but-
ton2for this purpose.
The display starts with the cur-
rent value and each time the but-
ton is pressed it moves one step
through the following sequence: Total distance covered
Tripmeter 1 (
Trip I
)
Tripmeter 2 (
Trip II
)
Residual range (once fuel level
is down to reserve)

In this case, the button
on the handlebar fitting
is for operating the on-board
computer or calling up the RDC
readings.

monitoring (RDC):
Press and hold down button 2.
In this case, the button
on the handlebar fitting
is for operating the on-board
computer or calling up the RDC
readings.
Residual rangeResidual-range reading appears
accompanied by the wordRANGE
and indicates how
far you can ride with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This
reading is not displayed until fuel
level has dropped to reserve.
This distance 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 added to the
fuel already in the tank.
When refuelling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top

up the tank to a level above re-
serve, as otherwise the sensor
will not be able to register the
new level. If the sensor cannot
register the new level neither
the fuel-level reading nor the
residual-range readout can be
updated.The calculated range is an
approximate value. Con-
sequently, BMW Motorrad re-
commends that you should not
try to use the full residual range
before refuelling.On-board computer

The display starts with the cur-
rent value and each time the but-
ton is pressed it moves one step
through the following sequence: Ambient temperature Average speed
Average consumption
Range
Oil level
Tyre pressures (OE)
Ambient temperatureWhen the motorcycle is at a
standstill the heat of the engine
can falsify ambient-temperature
reading
1. If the effect of the en-
gine's heat becomes excessive,--
temporarily appears on the
display.
450zOperation

If ambient temperature
drops below 3 °C a warn-
ing appears, drawing your atten-
tion to the risk of black ice form-
ing. The display automatically
switches from any other mode
to the temperature reading when
the temperature drops below this
threshold for the first time.
Average speedAverage speed 1is calculated
on the basis of the time elapsed
since the last reset. Times
during which the engine was
stopped are excluded from the
calculation.
Resetting average speedSwitch on the ignition.
Select average speed.
Press and hold down button 1.
Average speed is reset to zero.
Average consumptionAverage consumption 1is cal-
culated by dividing the distance
covered since the last reset by
the corresponding amount of fuel
used.Resetting average
consumptionSwitch on the ignition.
Select average consumption.
451zOperation

Press and hold down button1.
Average consumption is reset
to zero.
RangeThe description of the residual-
range function ( 49) also cov-
ers the range readout. You can
also view range 1before the fuel
level drops to reserve. A special
average-consumption figure is
used to calculate range; this fig-
ure is not necessarily the same
as the value you can call up for
viewing on the display.
When the motorcycle is propped
on its side stand the slight angle
of inclination means that the
sensor cannot register the fuel
level correctly. This is the reason
why the range is calculated only when the motorcycle is on the
move.
When refuelling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top
up the tank to a level above re-
serve, as otherwise the sensor
will not be able to register the
new level. If the sensor cannot
register the new level neither the
fuel-level reading nor the range
readout can be updated.
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 indicator1gives you
an indication of the engine oil
level. You can call up this read-
ing only when the motorcycle is
at a standstill.
The preconditions for the oil level
check are as follows:
Engine at operating temperat-
ure.
Engine idling for at least 10
seconds.
Side stand retracted.
Make sure the motorcycle is
upright. The readings mean:
OK
: Oil level is correct.
CHECK
: Check the oil level the
next time you stop for fuel.
---
: Oil level cannot be meas-
ured (conditions as stated above
not satisfied).
If you call up another read-
ing on the on-board com-
puter, this symbol remains visible
until the sensor again registers a
correct oil level.
The most recently measured
level is displayed for 5 seconds
when you next switch on the ig-
nition.
The oil sensor might be
defective if the "Check oil
level" message reappears even
though the oil level shown by the
oil tank's level indicator is correct.
In this case, consult your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.

The damping characteristic is
shown in panel1of the multi-
function display, and spring pre-
load in panel 2. The odometer
readings are not shown while
the ESA readout is active. Three
spring preload settings can each
be combined with three damping
characteristics to fine-tune the
motorcycle's suspension.Adjuster, spring preloadThe ESA control unit is protected
by an overload cutout designed
to stop the spring-preload ad-
justment process if current con-
sumption reaches an unaccept- ably high level. Please note that
a combination of low ambient
temperature and a high payload
tends to increase the possibility
of elevated current consumption,
and under these circumstances
adjustment might be interrupted
by the overload cutout.
If the motorcycle is to be used
for two-up riding and ambient
temperature is below 0 °C, BMW
Motorrad recommends adjusting
the suspension to the setting for
two-up riding and allowing ad-
justment to complete before your
passenger mounts the motor-
cycle. Similarly, BMW Motorrad
recommends relieving the weight
on the motorcycle when you are
going to adjust over a long range
of travel (adjusting from "one-up"
to "two-up with luggage").
The ESA indicator continues to
flash until adjustment completes.
If adjustment is interrupted the
process resumes as soon as
current consumption drops be-
low the defined threshold, for
example when the above-men-
tioned measures are adopted.
