General instructions
Overview
We have placed great importance
on good orientation when using
this Rider's Manual. You'll find
special topics most quickly by
using the extensive index at the
end of the manual. You can find
a first overview of your motorcy-
cle in Chapter 2. All maintenance
and repair work carried out on
your vehicle will be documented
in Chapter 11. Proof of the main-
tenance work performed is a pre-
requisite for generous treatment
of claims.
When the time comes to sell
your BMW, remember to hand
over this Rider's Manual; it is an
important part of the motorcycle.

Equipment
When you ordered your BMW
motorcycle, you chose various
items of custom equipment. This
Rider's Manual describes optional
equipment (OE) offered by BMW
and selected optional accessories
(OA). This explains why the man-
ual may also contain descriptions
of equipment which you have not
ordered. Please note, too, that
your motorcycle might not be ex-
actly as illustrated in this manual
on account of country-specific
differences.
If your motorcycle comes with
equipment not described here,
you can find the descriptions in a
separate manual.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and out-
puts in this Rider's Manual refer
to the Deutsches Institut für Nor-
mung e. V. (DIN) and comply with
its tolerance regulations. Ver-
sions for individual countries may
differ.
Notice concerning
current status
The high safety and quality stan-
dards of BMW motorcycles are
maintained by constant devel-
opment work on designs, equip-
ment and accessories. Because
of this, your motorcycle may dif-
fer from the information supplied
in the Rider's Manual. In addition,
BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee
the total absence of errors. We
hope you will appreciate that no
claims can be entertained on the
basis of the data, illustrations or
descriptions in this manual.

Fuel level
Due to the complex fuel tank ge-
ometry, the fill level cannot be
determined in the upper filling
range. For this reason, the fuel
level indicator only details the
lower half of the filling range.
If the fill level indicator reaches
the -mark , the fuel tank is1/2 1
still half full. Now, the fill level is
displayed more accurately.
If the reserve quantity is reached,
the fuel warning lamp is switched
on.
Fuel reserve
The amount of fuel in the fuel
tank, when the fuel warning lamp
is switched on, depends on the
driving dynamics: The more the
fuel is moved within the tank
(due to frequently changing in-
clined positions, frequent braking
and accelerating), the more diffi-
cult it is to determine the reserve
quantity. However, the fuel re-
serve amount indicated on the
back cover is at least in the fuel
tank.
with onboard computer OE
After the fuel warning lamp
is switched on, the distance
driven since this point in time is
indicated.
The distance, which can still be
driven with the reserve quantity,
depends on the driving style (on
the consumption) and on the fuel
level, when the warning lamp was

switched on (see the explanation
above).
The odometer for the fuel re-
serve is reset, if the fuel level af-
ter refueling is greater than the
reserve quantity.
Service display
If the time remaining until the
next service will elapse within
one month, the service date 1
appears briefly following the pre-
ride check. The month and year
are shown with two and four dig-
its respectively separated by a
colon. In this example the display
means "June 2014".
If the vehicle covers high annual
mileages then shorter service in-
tervals may be required. When
the odometer reading for the re-
calculated early service falls to
within 621 miles (1000 km), the
remaining miles (kilometers) 1
are counted down in 62-miles
(100-km) steps. They are briefly
displayed following the pre-ride
check.
When a service date
elapses without service, the
universal warning lamp lights up
in yellow, appearing together with
the date and mileage (kilometer)
display. The "Service" message
is displayed continuously.
If the service display
appears more than a month
before the service date, the
stored date must be adjusted
in the instrument cluster. This
situation can occur if the battery
has been disconnected for a
longer time.
Consult a certified workshop,
preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer, for
setting of the date.
Outside temperature
with onboard computerOE
When the outside temper-
ature drops below 37 °F
(3 °C) the temperature display
3
33
z
Status indicators
responds by flashing a warning
indicating possible ice formation
on the road surface. The display
automatically switches from any
other mode to the temperature
reading when the temperature
drops below this threshold for
the first time.
Engine heat can lead to spurious
readings of ambient temperature
when the motorcycle is station-
ary. When the effects of engine
heat on the monitored tempera-
ture become excessive the dis-
play responds by temporarily re-
verting to " " as the display--
reading.
The outside temperature
warning does not mean that
there is no risk of black ice form-
ing at measured temperatures
above 37 °F (3 °C).
At low outside temperatures,
black ice must especially be ex-
pected on bridges and in shady
road areas.
Tire inflation pressure
with Tire Pressure Control
(TPC/RDC)OE
The figure on the left side in-1
dicates the front tire's inflation
pressure, while the figure on the
right shows the inflation pres-2
sure in the rear tire. Immediately
after switching on the ignition,
" " is indicated. The trans--- --
fer of the inflation pressure val-
ues does not begin until a speed
of 19 mph (30 km/h) is exceeded
for the first time.
The displayed tire inflation pres-
sures refer to a tire air tempera-
ture of 68 °F (20 °C).
If the warning triangle is3
also shown, a warning dis-
play is concerned. The affected
inflation pressure flashes.
The universal warning lamp lights
up in yellow when the affected
figure is at the limit of the ap-
proved tolerance range. If the
monitored tire inflation pressure
is outside the specified range the
universal warning lamp will flash
in red.

Electronic immobilizer
(EWS)
The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
steering and ignition lock. The
engine management system
does not enable engine starting
until this key is recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcycle.
A further key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
EWS warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you loss your vehicle key, you
can have it disabled by your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad dealer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining vehicle keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Emergency and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
The keys are part of an inte-
grated security system, so the
retailer is under an obligation to
check the legitimacy of all ap-
plications for replacement/extra

cold)
If the tire pressure is incorrect:
Correct tire pressure.
Headlight
Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule

Have the headlight adjusted to
the relevant conditions by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer.
Ordinary adhesive tape
damages the plastic lens.
To prevent damage to the plastic
lens, consult a specialized work-
shop, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Headlamp range and
spring preload
The headlamp range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state.
However, in the case of very high
payloads, the available spring
preload adjustment might not be
adequate. In this case, the head-
lamp range must be adjusted to
the weight.

Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which is colorless and
odorless but highly toxic.
Inhaling exhaust fumes
therefore represents a
health hazard and can even
cause loss of consciousness with
fatal consequences.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Do not run the engine in closed
rooms.
Danger of burns
Engine and exhaust system
become very hot when the
vehicle is in use. There is a risk
of burn injuries by contact with
hot surfaces.
After parking the motorcycle,
make sure that nobody comes
into contact with the engine and
exhaust system.
Catalytic converter
If misfiring causes unburned fuel
to enter the catalytic converter,
there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
The following must be observed:
Do not run the fuel tank dry
Do not run the engine with the
spark-plug cap removed
Stop the engine immediately if
it misfires
Use unleaded fuel only
Comply with all specified main-
tenance intervals.
Unburned fuel will destroy
the catalytic converter.
Note the points listed for protec-
tion of the catalytic converter.
Danger of overheating
Cooling would be inade-
quate if the engine were al-
lowed to idle for a lengthy period
with the motorcycle at a stand-
still: overheating would result. In
extreme cases, the motorcycle
could catch fire.
Do not allow the engine to idle
unnecessarily. After starting, ride
off immediately.
Modifications
Modifications of the mo-

Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in

Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to

Brakes
How do you achieve
the shortest stopping
distances?
The dynamic load distribution be-
tween the front and rear wheel
changes during braking. The
heavier you brake, the greater
the weight transfer to the front
wheel. Increases in the load at
an individual wheel are accom-
panied by a rise in the effective
braking force that the wheel can
provide.
To achieve the shortest possible
braking distance, the front brake
must be applied quickly and with
increasing force. This procedure
provides ideal exploitation of the
extra weight transfer to the front
wheel. The clutch should also be
disengaged at the same time.
With the "forced braking" of-
ten practiced in which the brake
pressure is generated as quickly
as possible and with great force,
the dynamic load distribution
cannot follow the increased de-
celeration and the braking force
cannot be completely transferred
to the road surface.
Locking up of the front wheel
is prevented by BMW Motorrad
ABS.
Descending mountain
passes
There is a danger of the
brakes fading if you use
only the rear brakes when
descending mountain passes.
Under extreme conditions, the
brakes could overheat and suffer
severe damage.
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.

Technology in detail
Brake system with
BMW Motorrad ABS
How does the ABS work?
The maximum braking force that
can be transferred to the road
surface is partially dependent on
the friction coefficient of the road
surface. Gravel, ice, snow and
wet roads offer a considerably
lower friction coefficient than a
dry, clean asphalt surface. The
poorer the friction coefficient of
the road surface is, the longer
the braking distance will be.
If the maximum transferable brak-
ing force is exceeded when the
rider increases the brake pres-
sure, the wheels begin to lock
and driving stability is lost, and
a fall can result. Before this sit-
uation occurs, ABS is activated
and the brake pressure is ad-
justed to the maximum transfer-
able braking force. This enables
the wheels to continue to turn
and maintains driving stability re-
gardless of the road surface con-
dition.
What happens when
rough roads are
encountered?
Rough roads can briefly lead to
a loss of contact between the
tires and the road surface. The
transferable braking force is then
reduced to zero. If braking is car-
ried out in this situation, ABS
must reduce the brake pressure
to ensure driving stability when
restoring contact to the road.
At this point in time, ABS must
assume extremely low friction
coefficients (gravel, ice, snow)
so that the wheels turn in every
imaginable case and driving sta-
bility is ensured. After detecting
the actual conditions, the system
adjusts the optimum brake pres-
sure.
Lifting off rear wheel
During extremely heavy and rapid
decelerations it is possible that
the ABS cannot prevent the rear
wheel from lifting off the ground.
In these cases, the motorcycle
can also flip end over end.
Heavy braking can lead to
the rear wheel lifting off the
ground.
When braking, bear in mind
that the ABS control cannot
always be relied on to prevent
the rear wheel from lifting off the
ground.
What are the design
characteristics of the
BMW Motorrad ABS?
The BMW Motorrad ABS en-
sures driving stability on any sur-
face within the limits of driving
physics. The system is not op-
timized for special requirements
resulting under extreme weather
6
66
z
Technology in detail
conditions offroad or on the race-
track.
Special situations
To detect the tendency of the
wheels to lock up, the speeds
of the front and rear wheel are
compared. If implausible values
are detected over a longer period
of time, the ABS function is de-
activated for safety reasons and
an ABS error is indicated. The
condition for a fault code is the
completed self-diagnosis.
Unusual driving conditions can
lead to a fault code as well:
Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake pulled (burn
out).
Heating up on the main or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
Locked-up rear wheel for a
longer period of time, e.g.
when riding downhill offroad.
Should a fault code occur due to
an unusual driving condition, the
ABS function can be reactivated
by switching the ignition off and
then on again.
How important is regular
maintenance?
Any technical system is al-
ways only as good as its
maintenance condition.
To ensure that the BMW Motor-
rad ABS is in an optimally main-
tained condition, it is vital that the
specified inspection intervals be
complied with.
Reserves for safety
But remember: the potentially
shorter braking distances which
BMW Motorrad ABS permits
must not be used as an excuse
for careless riding. ABS is pri-
marily a means of ensuring a
safety margin in genuine emer-
gencies.
Be careful in curves. When
you apply the brakes in a
curve, the motorcycle's weight
and momentum take over and
even BMW Motorrad ABS is un-
able to counteract their effects.
The rider is always responsible
for adapting his/her driving style.
Do not reduce the additional
safety provided with risky
driving.
Engine management
with BMW Motorrad
ASC
with Automatic Stability Control
(ASC)OE
6
67
z
Technology in detail
How does the ASC work?
BMW Motorrad ASC compares
the wheel speeds of the front
and rear wheel. From the speed
difference the slip, and with it
the stability reserves on the rear
wheel are determined. When a
slip limit is exceeded, the engine
torque is adapted by the engine
management system.
What are the design
characteristics of the
BMW Motorrad ASC?
BMW Motorrad ASC is designed
as an assistant system for the
rider for the use on public roads.
The extent to which the rider af-
fects ASC control can be consid-
erable (weight shifts when cor-
nering, items of luggage loose on
the motorcycle), especially when
style of riding takes rider and ma-
chine close to the limits imposed
by physics.
The system is not optimized for
special requirements resulting
under extreme weather condi-
tions offroad or on the racetrack.
BMW Motorrad ASC can be de-
activated for these cases.
Even with ASC, the laws of
physics cannot be overrid-
den. The rider is always respon-
sible for adapting his/her driving
style.
Do not reduce the additional
safety provided with risky
driving.
Special situations
At an increasing angle, the accel-
eration performance is increas-
ingly limited in accordance with
physical laws. This can result in
delayed acceleration when com-
ing out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the
speeds of the front and
rear wheel are compared. If
implausible values are detected
over a longer period of time, the
ASC function is deactivated for
safety reasons and an ASC error
is indicated. The condition for a
fault code is the completed self-
diagnosis.
The following unusual driving
conditions may lead to automatic
deactivation of BMW Motorrad
ASC:
Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period
with ASC deactivated.
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake pulled (burn
out).
Heating up on the main or aux-
iliary stand at idle or with gear
engaged.
6
68
z
Technology in detail
ASC is reactivated by switching
the ignition on and off and then
driving at a speed above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
If the front wheel loses contact
to the ground during extreme
acceleration, the ASC reduces
the engine torque until the front
wheel touches the ground again.
In this case, BMW Motorrad rec-
ommends turning back the throt-
tle grip somewhat to achieve
a stable driving state again as
quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the throttle
grip must never be suddenly
turned back completely without
pulling the clutch at the same
time. The engine braking torque
can cause the rear wheel to
block, resulting in an unstable
driving state. This case cannot
be controlled by BMW Motorrad
ASC.
Tire pressure control
(RDC)
with Tire Pressure Control
(TPC/RDC)OE
Function
A sensor is located in each tire,
which measures the air temper-
ature and the inflation pressure
inside the tire and sends these
values to the control unit.
The sensors are equipped with
a centrifugal controller, which
does not enable the transmis-
sion of the measured values until
a speed of approx. 18.5 mph
(30 km/h) is reached. The dis-
play shows " " for each tire--
until the tire-pressure signal is
received for the first time. The
sensors continue to transmit
the measured values for approx.
15 minutes after the motorcycle
comes to a stop.
The control unit can manage four
sensors, and as a result, two sets
of wheels with RDC sensors can
be driven. If a RDC control unit
is installed without the wheels
being equipped with sensors, a
fault code is output.
Tire inflation pressure
ranges
The RDC control unit distin-
guishes between three inflation
pressure ranges matched to the
motorcycle:
Inflation pressure within the
permissible tolerance.
Inflation pressure at the limits
of the permissible tolerance.
Inflation pressure outside the
permissible tolerance.
6
69
z
Technology in detail
Temperature
compensation
The tire inflation pressure is tem-
perature dependent, i.e. it in-
creases or decreases together
with the tire air temperature. The
tire air temperature is dependent
on the ambient temperature and
on the driving style and duration.
The tire inflation pressures are
shown temperature-compensated
in the multifunction display. They
refer to a tire air temperature of
68 °F (20 °C). No temperature
compensation takes place in the
inflation pressure testers at fill-
ing stations. The measured tire
inflation pressure is dependent
on the tire air temperature. As a
result, in most cases the values
displayed there do not match the
values shown in the multifunction
display.
Adjusting inflation
pressure
Compare the RDC value in the
multifunction display with the
value on the back cover of the
Rider's Manual. The difference
between the two values must be
compensated with the air pres-
sure tester at the filling station.
Example: According to the
Rider's Manual, the tire inflation
pressure is to be 36 psi (2.5 bar),
however 33 psi (2.3 bar) is
shown in the multifunction
display. The tester at the
filling station indicates 34.8 psi
(2.4 bar). This value must be
increased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) to
37.8 psi (2.6 bar) in order to
produce the correct tire inflation
pressure.

Wheels
Tire recommendation
For every size of tire, BMW
Motorrad has tested certain
makes and approved those it
has found to be roadworthy.
If you use wheels and tires
that have not been approved,
BMW Motorrad cannot assess
their suitability or provide any
guarantee as to their road safety.
Use only wheels and tires that
BMW Motorrad has approved for
your type of motorcycle.
Extensive information is available
at your authorized BMW Motor-
rad retailer or on the Internet at
www.bmw-motorrad.com.
Affect of wheel size on
ABS
Wheel sizes greatly affect the
function of the ABS system. Es-
pecially the diameter and width
of the wheels are stored in the
control unit as the basis for all
necessary calculations. A change
in these sizes due to conversion
to wheels not installed as stan-
dard equipment can seriously af-
fect the control comfort of these
systems.
7
80
z
Maintenance
The sensor rings required for
wheel speed detection must also
match the control systems in-
stalled and may not be replaced.
If you want to equip your mo-
torcycle with different wheels,
please speak to a specialist ser-
vice facility, and preferably a
BMW Motorrad retailer. In some
cases the data stored in the con-
trol units can be adapted to the
new wheel sizes.

Battery
Maintenance instructions
Correct upkeep, recharging and
storage will prolong the life of
the battery and are essential for
recognition of warranty claims.
Compliance with the points be-
low is important in order to maxi-
mize battery life:
Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry.
Do not open the battery.
Do not top up with water.
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for charg-
ing the battery on the following
pages.
Do not turn the battery upside
down.
If the battery is not discon-
nected, the onboard elec-
tronics (clock etc.) will drain the
battery. This can cause the bat-
tery to run flat. If this happens,
warranty claims will not be ac-
cepted.
During driving breaks of more
than 4 weeks, a trickle-charger
should be connected to the
battery.
BMW Motorrad has devel-
oped a trickle-charger spe-
cially designed for compatibility
with the electronics of your mo-
torcycle. Using this charger, you
can keep the battery charged
during long periods when the
motorcycle is not being used
without having to disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle's
onboard systems. Additional in-
formation is available at your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Charging connected

z
Maintenance
Charging the connected
battery directly at the bat-
tery terminals can damage the
motorcycle electronics.
To charge the battery via the
battery terminals, disconnect the
battery first.
Charging the battery via
the onboard socket is only
possible with suitable chargers.
Unsuitable chargers can result in
damage to the motorcycle elec-
tronics.
Use suitable BMW chargers.
The correct charger is available
through the authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
If you switch on the igni-
tion and the multifunction
display and indicator lights fail
to light up, the battery is com-
pletely flat (battery voltage be-
low 9 V). Attempting to charge a
completely flat battery via the on-
board socket can cause damage
to the motorcycle's electronics.
Always charge a completely
drained battery directly at the
terminals of the disconnected
battery.
Charge disconnected battery
via onboard socket.
The motorcycle's onboard
electronics know when the
battery is fully charged. The
onboard socket is switched off
when this happens.
Comply with operating instruc-
tions of charger.
If you are unable to
charge the battery via
the onboard socket, you
may be using a charger that
is not compatible with your
motorcycle's electronics. In
this case, charge the battery
directly at the terminals of the
disconnected battery.
Charging disconnected
battery
Charge battery using a suitable
charger.
Comply with operating instruc-

In the case of longer peri-
ods when the motorcycle is
not being used, the battery must
be recharged regularly. See the
instructions for caring for your
battery. Always fully recharge
the battery before returning it to
use.

Care products
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use cleaning and care
products available at your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
BMW Care Products have been
material-tested, laboratory-tested
as well as field-tested and pro-
vide optimum care and protection
for the materials used in your
motorcycle.
The use of unsuitable
cleaning and care products
can damage motorcycle
components.
For cleaning, do not use any sol-
vents such as nitro-thinners, cold
cleaning agents, fuel or similar,
and do not use cleaning agents
that contain alcohol.
Washing your vehicle
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use BMW Insect Re-
mover to soften and wash off
insects and stubborn dirt from
painted parts before washing the
vehicle.
To prevent stains, do not wash
the vehicle immediately after it
has been exposed to bright sun-
light and do not wash it in the
sun.
In particular during the winter
months, wash the vehicle more
frequently.
To remove road salt, clean the
motorcycle with cold water im-
mediately after every trip.
Warm water intensifies the
effect of salt.
Only use cold water to remove
road salt.
After washing the motor-
cycle, after driving through
water or in the rain, braking can
be delayed due to damp brake
disks and brake pads.
Brake early until the brake disks
and pads are dry.
The high water pressure
of high-pressure cleaners
(steam cleaners) can damage
seals, the hydraulic brake sys-
tem, the electrical system and
the seat.
Do not use a steam jet or high-
pressure cleaning equipment.
Cleaning sensitive
vehicle parts
Plastics
If plastic parts are cleaned
using unsuitable cleaning
agents, the surfaces can be dam-
aged.
Do not use cleaning agents that
contain alcohol, solvents or abra-
sives to clean plastic parts.
9
108
z
Care
'Insect sponges' or sponges with
hard surfaces can also lead to
scratches.
Fairings and Panels
Clean fairings and panels with
water and BMW plastic cleaner.
Plastic windshields and
headlight lenses
Clean off dirt and insects with a
soft sponge and plenty of water.
Soften stubborn dirt and
dead insects by covering
the affected areas with a wet
cloth.
Chrome parts
Especially in the case of road
salt, carefully clean chrome parts
with plenty of water and BMW
auto shampoo. Use chrome pol-
ish for additional treatment.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the en-
gine due to inadequate cooling.
For example, use a garden hose
with low water pressure.
Cooling fins can be bent
easily.
When cleaning the radiator, en-
sure that the fins are not bent.
Rubber parts
Treat rubber parts with water or
BMW rubber protection coating
agent.
Using silicone sprays for
the care of rubber seals can
cause damage.
Do not use silicone sprays or
care products that contain
silicone.
Paint care
Washing the vehicle regularly
prevents paint damage, especially
if your vehicle is ridden in areas
with high air pollution or natural
sources of dirt, e.g. tree resin or
pollen.
However, remove particularly
aggressive substances (spilled
fuel, oil grease, brake fluid as
well as bird droppings) immedi-
ately; otherwise changes in the
paint or discolorations may occur.
BMW Motorrad recommends
BMW Car Polish or BMW Paint
Cleaner for this purpose.
Contamination of the paint finish
is particularly easy to see after
the vehicle has been washed.
Remove this type of soiling with
cleaning naphtha or spirit on a
clean cloth or cotton ball. BMW
Motorrad recommends remov-
ing tar spots with BMW Tar Re-
mover. Then add a protective
9
109
z
Care
wax coating to the paint at these
locations.
Protective wax coating
Paint must be protected, if water
no longer pearls up on it.
To preserve the finish of your
vehicle, BMW Motorrad recom-
mends BMW Car Wax or agents
that contain carnauba or syn-
thetic waxes.
Storing motorcycle
Clean the motorcycle.
Remove battery ( 96).
Spray the brake and clutch
lever, the side stand pivot and,
if necessary, the main stand
pivot with a suitable lubricant.
Coat bare metal and chrome-
plated parts with an acid-free
grease (e.g., Vaseline).
Park motorcycle in a dry room,
raising it to remove weight
from both wheels (preferably
using the front wheel and rear-
wheel stand).
Returning motorcycle
to use
Remove the protective wax
coating.
Clean the motorcycle.
Install a charged battery.
Observe checklist before start-
ing.

Reporting safety defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
ministration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying BMW of North America, LLC.

safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your
dealer, or BMW of North America, LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-
4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administra-
tor, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain

BMW Motorrad Service
With its worldwide service net-
work, BMW Motorrad can attend
to you and your motorcycle in
over 100 countries around the
globe. Authorized BMW Motor-
rad retailers have the technical
information and expertise needed
to conduct reliable service and
repairs covering every aspect of
your BMW.
You can find the nearest autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer
by visiting our Internet site at
"www.bmw-motorrad.com".
If this maintenance and re-
pair work is performed inex-
pertly, there is a danger of dam-
age and associated safety risks.
BMW Motorrad recommends
having corresponding work on
your motorcycle carried out by a
specialized workshop, preferably
by an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
To ensure that your BMW
consistently remains in optimum
condition, BMW Motorrad
urges you to observe the
recommended service intervals.
Have all maintenance and repair
work confirmed in the "Service"
chapter in this manual. For gen-
erous treatment of claims sub-
mitted after the warranty period
has expired (goodwill), evidence
of regular maintenance is essen-
tial.
You can obtain information on
the contents of the BMW Ser-
vices from your BMW Motorrad
retailer.
BMW Motorrad Mobility
Services
New BMW motorcycles are pro-
tected with the BMW Motorrad
mobility services in case of a
breakdown with various services
(e.g. mobile service, roadside as-
sistance and vehicle return trans-
port).
Ask your authorized BMW mo-
torcycle retailer which mobility
services are offered.
Maintenance work
BMW Pre-Delivery Check
The BMW pre-delivery check is
carried out by your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer before it
turns over the motorcycle to you.
BMW Running-in Check
The BMW running-in check
must be carried out between
300 mls and 750 mls (500 km
and 1200 km).
BMW Service
BMW service is carried out once
a year. The scope of the ser-
vices performed may be de-
pendent on the vehicle owner
and the mileage driven. Your
BMW Motorrad retailer confirms
11
125
z
Service
that the service has been per-
formed and enters the date for
the next service.
For riders who drive long dis-
tances annually, it may be neces-
sary to come in for service before
the entered date. In this case a
corresponding maximum odome-
ter reading will also be entered in
the confirmation of service. If this
odometer reading is reached be-
fore the next service date, service
must be performed sooner.
The service display in the multi-
function display reminds you of
the next service date approx. one
month or 620 miles (1000 km)
before the entered values.
