2007 BMW MOTORRAD K 1200 S fuel consumption

with OE On-board computer
or with OE Tyre-pressure
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.

RangeThe description of the residual-
range function ( 47) also cov-
ers the range readout. You can
also view range1before 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 indicator 1gives 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.

Refuelling
Fuel is highly flammable. A
naked flame close to the
fuel tank can cause a fire or ex-
plosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel expands when hot.
Fuel escaping from an
overfilled tank could make its way
onto the rear tyre. This could
cause a fall.
Do not fill the tank past the bot-
tom edge of the filler neck.
Fuel attacks plastics, which
become dull or unsightly.
Wipe off plastic parts immediately
if they come into contact with
fuel.
Fuel can attack the material
of the windscreen, which
becomes dull or unsightly.
Wipe off the windscreen immedi- ately if it comes into contact with
fuel.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Open the protective cap.
Open the fuel tank cap with
the ignition key by turning it
counter-clockwise. Refuel with fuel of the grade
stated below; do not fill the
tank past the bottom edge of
the filler neck.

BMW Motorrad recommends not using oil addit-
ives, because they can have a detrimental effect
on clutch operation. Please do not hesitate to
contact your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer
if you have any questions relating the choice of a
suitable engine oil for your motorcycle.
