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.

Tyre pressure close to limit
of permitted toleranceGeneral warning light shows
yellow.
Tyre symbol appears on
the display.
The critical tyre pressure flashes.
Measured tyre pressure is close
to the limit of permitted toler-
ance. Correct the tyre pressure as
stated on the inside cover of
the Rider's Manual.
The tyre-pressures listed
on the inside cover are
temperature-compensated; the
reference tyre temperature for
these readings is always 20 °C.
The procedure for correcting tyre
pressures when the tyres are not
at this reference temperature is
as follows:
Calculate the difference between
the specified value stated in the
Rider's Manual and the reading shown by the RDC system. Use
the public air line at a petrol sta-
tion or motorway service area to
adjust the tyre pressure by this
amount.
Tyre pressure outside
permitted tolerance
General warning light
flashes red.
Tyre symbol appears on
the display.
The critical tyre pressure flashes.
Measured tyre pressure is out-
side permitted tolerance. Check the tyre for damage and
to ascertain whether the mo-
torcycle can be ridden with the
tyre in its present condition.
If the motorcycle can be ridden
with the tyre in its present condi-
tion:
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics. If tyre pressure is incorrect it is
essential to adapt your style of
riding accordingly.
Correct the tyre pressure at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Have the tyre checked for
damage by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
If you are unsure whether the
motorcycle can be ridden with
the tyre in its present condition: Do not continue your journey.
Notify the breakdown service.
Have the tyre checked for
damage by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

Maintenance workBMW Pre-delivery CheckYour authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer conducts the BMW pre-
delivery check before handing
over the motorcycle to you.BMW Running-in CheckThe BMW running-in check has
to be performed when the mo-
torcycle has covered between
500 km and 1,200 kmBMW ServiceThe BMW Service is carried out
once a year; the extent of servi-
cing can vary, depending on the
age of the motorcycle and the
distance it has covered. Your au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer
confirms that the service work
has been carried out and enters
the date when the next service
will be due.
Riders who cover long distances
in a year might have to bring in
their motorcycles for service be-
fore the next scheduled date. It
is to allow for these cases that
a maximum odometer reading is
entered as well in the confirma-
tion of service. Servicing has to
be brought forward if this odo-
meter reading is reached before
the next scheduled date for the
annual service.
The service-due indicator in the
multifunction display reminds you
about one month or 1000 km
in advance when the time for a
service is approaching, on the
basis of the programmed values.
