444zOperation

The battery can be recharged
via the on-board socket.Locking handlebars
If the motorcycle is on the
side stand, the surface of
the ground will determine wheth-
er it is better to turn the handle-
bars to the left or right. However,
the motorcycle is more stable on
a level surface with the handle-
bars turned to the left than with
the handlebars turned to the
right.
On level ground, always turn the
handlebars to the left to set the
steering lock. Turn the handlebars to the full
left or right lock position.
Turn the key to position
3,
while moving the handlebars
slightly.
Ignition, lights and all function
circuits switched off.
Handlebars locked.
Key can be removed.
Electronic immobiliser
(EWS)Protection against theftThe electronic immobiliser helps
protect your BMW motorcycle
from theft, and this enhanced se-
curity is at your disposal without
any need for you to set paramet-
ers or activate additional systems.
The engine of a motorcycle fit-
ted with this electronic immobil-
iser can be started only with the
keys that belong to the vehicle.
You can also have your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer bar individual keys, for example if a
particular key goes missing. The
engine cannot be started with a
key that has been barred.
In-key electronicsThe motorcycle's electronics
exchange certain continuously
changing signals with the elec-
tronics in the key; these signals
are specific to your motorcycle
and they are transmitted via the
ring aerial in the ignition lock.
The ignition is not enabled for
starting until the key has been
recognised as "authorised" for
your motorcycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the ig-
nition key used to start the en-
gine could "irritate" the electron-
ics, in which case the enabling
signal for starting is not issued.
The
EWS
warning appears in the
multifunction display.
445zOperation

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.
452zOperation

The tyre pressures are shown,
accompanied by the wordingRDC P
. The front tyre pressure
is on the left; the reading on the
right is the rear tyre pressure.
-- --
appears directly after the
ignition is switched on, because
the sensors do not transmit tyre
pressures until the motorcycle
accelerates to 30 km/h.
The readings alternate with the
clock.
If the motorcycle has an on-
board computer the readings al-
ternate with the clock and the
values of the on-board computer.
