The horizontal bars below
the fuel-pump symbol in-
dicate the remaining quantity of
fuel.
When the fuel in the tank is
topped up the gauge briefly
shows the original level, before
the reading is updated.
Gear
The gear engaged or

for neutral appears on the
display.
If no gear is engaged, the
'neutral' telltale light also
lights up.
Coolant temperature
The horizontal bars below
the temperature symbol
indicate the coolant temperature.
Service-due indicatorIf the next service is due in less
than one month, the date for the
320zStatus indicators

next service is shown briefly after
the Pre-Ride Check completes.
Month and year are both shown
as two-digit numbers with a line
as separator, so in this example
the next service is due in March
2007.
If the motorcycle covers long dis-
tances in the course of the year,
under certain circumstances it
might be necessary to have it
serviced at a date in advance
of the forecast due date. If the
countdown distance to the odo-
meter reading at which a service
will be due is less than 1000 km,the distance is counted down in
steps of 100 km and is shown
briefly after the Pre-Ride Check
completes.
If service is overdue, the date or
the odometer reading is accom-
panied by the 'General' warning
light showing yellow. The word
"Service" remains permanently
visible.
If the service-due indicat-
or appears more than a
month in advance of the actual
due date or if the word "Service"
does not show permanently even
though a service is overdue, the
date stored in memory in the in-
strument cluster is incorrect and
must be set. This situation can
occur if the battery was discon-
nected for a prolonged period of
time.
If you want to have the date set
consult a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.

Replacement and extra
keysYou can obtain replacement/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated secur-
ity system, so the dealer is un-
der an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys. If you
want to have a lost key barred,
you have to bring with you all
the other keys that belong to
the motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently be
cleared and reactivated for use.ClockSetting clock
Attempting to set the clock
while riding the motorcycle
can lead to accidents.
Set the clock only when the mo-
torcycle is stationary. Switch on the ignition.

445zOperation

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.
