Ambient temperature
The outside temperature is displayed in the status line of the TFT display. When the motorcycle is at a standstill, the heat of the engine can falsify the ambient-temperature reading. If the heat of the engine is affecting it too much, dashes are temporarily shown in place of the value.
Outside temperature warning
Ice crystal symbol is displayed.
Possible cause:
The air temperature measured at the vehicle is lower than:
approx. 3 °C
There is a risk of black ice if the outside temperature falls below the following limit value.
Threshold for ambient temperature
approx. 3 °C Once the temperature has fallen below that value, the outside temperature display along with a ice crystal symbol flashes in the status line on the TFT display.
WARNING
Risk of black ice also applicable at over 3 °C Risk of accident
Always take extra care when temperatures are low; remember that there is particular danger of black ice forming on bridges and where the road is in shade.
Ride carefully and think well ahead.

NOTICE
The red engine speed range changes depending on the coolant temperature: The colder the engine, the lower the speed at which the red engine speed range starts. The warmer the engine, the higher the speed at which the red engine speed range starts. When the operating temperature is reached, the display of the red engine speed range no longer changes. The upshift recommendation is dynamically adapted.
Range
The range readout 1 indicates how far you can ride with the fuel remaining in the tank. This distance is calculated on the basis of average consumption and the quantity of fuel on board.
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 recalculated only when the side stand is in the retracted position.
The range is shown together with a warning once the fuel reserve has been reached. After a refuelling stop, range is recalculated if the amount of fuel in the tank is greater than the reserve quantity.

clothing! Always wear: Helmet Motorcycling jacket and trousers Gloves Boots
z
This applies even to short journeys, and to every season of the year. Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer will be glad to advise you on the correct clothing for every purpose.
Restricted angle of heel
A motorcycle with lowered suspension has less ground clearance and cannot corner at angles of heel as extreme as those achievable by a counterpart motorcycle with standard-height suspension.
WARNING
When a motorcycle with lowered suspension is cornering, certain components can come into contact with the surface at a bank angle less than that to which the rider is accustomed. Risk of falling
Carefully try out the limits of the motorcycle's bank angle and adapt your style of riding accordingly.
Test your motorcycle's angle of heel in situations that do not involve risk. When riding over kerbs and similar obstacles, bear in mind that your motorcycle's ground clearance is limited.
Lowering the motorcycle's suspension shortens suspension travel (see the section entitled "Technical Data"). Ride comfort might be restricted as a result.
Be sure to adjust the spring setting accordingly, particularly for riding two-up.
Loading
WARNING
Handling adversely affected by overloading and imbalanced loads Risk of falling
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight and be sure to comply with the instructions on loading.
Adapt spring setting and damping adjustment to the total weight. Ensure that the case volumes on the left and right are equal. Make sure that the weight is uniformly distributed between right and left.
Pack heavy items at the bottom and toward the inboard side. Note the maximum permissible

New brake pads have to bed down before they can achieve their optimum friction levels. You can compensate for this initial reduction in braking efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the levers.
WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet roads and at extreme bank angles Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid extremely sharp inclines.
You select the gear in the usual way by means of the foot-operated shift lever. The shift assistant assists upshifts and downshifts without
the rider having to pull the clutch or close the throttle. This is not an automatic-shift system. The rider is the most important part of the system and decides when to shift gears. The sensor 1 on the gearshift shaft registers the gearshift request and triggers shift assistance. When riding at a steady speed in a low gear at high engine rpm, an attempt to shift gear without pulling the clutch can cause a severe load-change reaction. BMW Motorrad recommends disengaging the clutch for shifts in these circumstances. It is advisable to avoid using the Pro shift assistant at engine speeds close to the limits at which the governor cuts in to limit engine rpm. Shift assistance is not available in the following situations:

z
Partially integral brakes
Your motorcycle is equipped with partially integral brakes. Both front and rear brakes are applied when you pull the handbrake lever. The footbrake lever acts only on the rear brake. When actively intervening in the braking process, the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS adapts braking-force distribution between front and rear brakes to suit the load on the motorcycle, and so ABS intervention helps achieve the shortest possible stopping distance.
The amount of braking force that can be transferred to the road depends on factors that include the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Loose stones, ice and snow or a wet road all have much lower coefficients of friction than a clean and dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of friction, the longer the braking distance. If the rider increases braking pressure to the extent that braking force exceeds the maximum transferable limit, the wheels start to lock and the vehicle loses its directional stability; a fall is imminent. Before this situation
surface irregularities?
Humps and surface irregularities can cause the wheels to lose contact temporarily with the road surface; if this happens the braking force that can be transmitted to the road can drop to zero. If the brakes are applied under these circumstances the ABS has to reduce braking force to ensure that directional stability is maintained when the wheels regain contact with the road surface. At this instant the ABS must assume an extremely low coefficient of friction, so that the wheels will continue to rotate un-

Shift assistant
with shift assistant Pro OE
Shift assistant Pro Your vehicle is equipped with a Pro shift assistant, a system originally developed for racing and now adapted for touring. It permits upshifts and downshifts without declutching or closing the throttle in virtually all load and rpm ranges.
Advantages 70-80 % of all gearshifts on a trip can be done without using the clutch. Less relative movement between rider and passenger
because the shift pauses are shorter. It is not necessary to close the throttle valve when shifting under acceleration. When braking and downshifting (throttle valve closed), engine speed is adjusted by blipping the throttle. Shift time is shorter than a gearshift with clutch actuation.
In order for the system to identify a gearshift request, the rider has to move the gearshift lever from its idle position in the desired direction against the spring force through a certain "overtravel" at ordinary speed or rapidly and keep the gearshift lever in this position until the gearshift is completed. It is not necessary to increase the force applied to the shift lever while shifting is in progress. Once the gearshift has completed the shift lever has to
be fully released before another gearshift with the Pro shift assistant can take place. When shifting gears with the Pro shift assistant, the rider has to keep load state (throttle grip position) constant before and during the gearshift. A change in the position of the throttle grip during a gearshift can cause the function to abort and/or lead to a missed shift. The Pro shift assistant provides no assistance for the gearshift if the rider declutches.
Upshifting Upshifting is only possible when the current speed is higher than the respective release threshold of the next higher gear. This prevents the engine from dropping below idle speed.
Idle speed
1050 min-1 (Engine at regular operating temperature)
Downshifting Downshifting is assisted until maximum rpm for the target gear to be selected is reached. This prevents overrevving.

Power sockets
Connection of electrical devices
You can start using electrical devices connected to the motorcycle's sockets only when the ignition is switched on.
Cable routing The cables from the power sockets to the auxiliary devices must be routed in such a way that they do not impede the rider. The cable routing should not restrict the steering angle or obstruct handling. The cables must not be trapped.
Automatic shutdown The sockets will be automatically switched off during the start procedure.
The power supply to the sockets is switched off no more than 15 minutes after the ignition is switched off, in order to prevent overloading of the onboard electrics. Low-wattage electrical accessories might not be recognised by the vehicle's electronics. In such cases, power sockets are switched off very shortly after the ignition is turned off. If the battery charge state is too low to maintain the motorcycle's start capability, the power sockets are switched off. The power sockets are also switched off when the maximum load capability as stated in the technical data is exceeded.

laboratories and in practice; they provide optimised care and
protection for the materials used
in your vehicle.
ATTENTION
Use of unsuitable cleaning and care products Damage to vehicle parts
Do not use solvents such as cellulose thinners, cold cleaners, fuel or the like, and do not use cleaning products that contain alcohol.
ATTENTION
Use of strongly acidic or strongly alkaline cleaning agents Damage to vehicle parts
Dilute in accordance with the dilution ratio stated on the packaging of the cleaning agent. Do not use strongly acidic or strongly alkaline cleaning agents.
Washing the vehicle
BMW Motorrad recommends that you use BMW insect remover to soften and wash off insects and stubborn dirt on painted parts prior to washing the vehicle. To prevent stains, do not wash the vehicle immediately after it has been exposed to strong sun-
light and do not wash it in the sun. Make sure that the vehicle is washed frequently, especially during the winter months. To remove road salt, clean the motorcycle with cold water immediately after every trip.
WARNING
Wet brake discs and brake pads after vehicle wash, after riding through water and in rainy conditions Diminished braking effect, risk of accident
Apply the brakes in good time to allow the friction and heat to dry the brake discs and brake pads.
ATTENTION
Effect of road salt intensified by warm water Corrosion
Use only cold water to wash off road salt.
ATTENTION
Damage due to high water pressure from high pressure cleaners or steam cleaners Corrosion or short circuit, damage to labels, seals, hydraulic brake system, electrical system and the motorcycle seat
Exercise restraint when using a steam jet or high pressure cleaning equipment.
Cleaning easily damaged components Plastics
ATTENTION
Use of unsuitable cleaning agents Damage to plastic surfaces
Do not use cleaning agents that contain alcohol, solvents or abrasives. Do not use insect-remover pads or cleaning pads with hard, scouring surfaces.
Body panels Clean trim panel components with water and BMW Motorrad solvent cleaner.
Plastic windscreens and headlight lenses Remove dirt and insects with a soft sponge and generous amounts of water.
NOTICE
Soften stubborn dirt and insects by covering the affected areas with a wet cloth.
Clean with water and sponge only.
Do not use any chemical cleaning agents.
TFT display Clean the TFT display with warm water and washing-up liquid. Then dry it with a clean cloth, e.g. a paper towel.
Chrome Carefully clean chrome sections with a generous amount of water and motorcycle cleaner from the care series BMW Motorrad Care Products. This applies especially where road salt has been in use. For an additional treatment, use BMW Motorrad metal polish.
Radiator Clean the radiator regularly to prevent overheating of the engine due to inadequate cooling. For example, use a garden hose with low water pressure.

Care of paintwork
The long-term effects of materials that are damaging to paint can be prevented by regular vehicle washes, particularly if
your vehicle is ridden in areas susceptible to high levels of air pollution or natural contamination, for example tree resin or pollen. Particularly aggressive materials, however, should be removed immediately, otherwise changes to or discolouration of the paint can result. These include, for example, spilled fuel, oil, grease, brake fluid or bird excrement. For this, we recommend BMW Motorrad solvent cleaner followed by BMW Motorrad gloss polish for preservation. Contamination of the paint surface can be seen particularly clearly after a vehicle wash. These areas should be cleaned immediately using benzine or spirit, applied with a clean cloth or cotton pad. BMW Motorrad recommends that tar spots be removed using BMW tar remover. The paint should then be preserved in these areas.
Vehicle preservation
If water no longer rolls off the paint, the paint must be preserved. For paint preservation, BMW Motorrad recommends the use of BMW Motorrad gloss polish or agents containing carnauba wax or synthetic wax.
Laying up the motorcycle
Clean the motorcycle.
Fill the motorcycle's fuel tank.
Removing battery ( 191). Spray the brake and clutch lever pivots and the main and side stand pivots with a suitable lubricant.
Coat bright metal and chromeplated parts with an acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline).
Stand the motorcycle in a dry room in such a way that there is no load on either wheel (preferably using the frontwheel and rear-wheel stands from BMW Motorrad).

13 BMW Motorrad Service BMW Motorrad has an extensive 236 network of dealerships in place
to look after you and your motorcycle in more than 100 countries. Authorised BMW Motorrad dealerships have the technical information and the technical know-how to carry out reliably all maintenance and repair work
z on your BMW.
You can locate your nearest authorised BMW Motorrad dealership by visiting our website: bmw-motorrad.com
WARNING
Maintenance and repair work not in compliance with correct procedure Risk of accident due to consequential damage
BMW Motorrad recommends having work of this nature carried out on the vehicle by a
specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.
In order to help ensure that your BMW is always in optimum condition, BMW Motorrad recommends compliance with the maintenance intervals specified for your motorcycle. Have all maintenance and repair work that is carried out confirmed in the "Service" chapter in this manual. For generous treatment of claims submitted after the warranty period has expired, evidence of regular maintenance is essential.
Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer can provide information on BMW services and the work undertaken as part of each service.
BMW Motorrad Service history
Entries
Maintenance work that has been carried out is entered in the proof of maintenance. The entries are like a Service Booklet and provide proof of regular maintenance. If an entry is made in the electronic service booklet of the vehicle, service-relevant data is saved in the central IT systems of BMW AG, Munich. If there is a change in vehicle owner, the data saved in the electronic service booklet can also be viewed by the new vehicle owner. A BMW Motorrad Retailer or a specialist workshop can also view data that is stored in the electronic service booklet.
Objection
The vehicle owner can object to entries being made by the BMW Motorrad Retailer or a specialist workshop in the electronic service booklet along with the corresponding storage of data in the vehicle and transfer of data to the vehicle manufacturer for the period of time that they are the vehicle owner. In this instance, no entry is made in the electronic service booklet of the vehicle.
BMW Motorrad Mobility services
As owner of a new BMW vehicle, in circumstances in which assistance is required you can benefit from the protection afforded by the various BMW Motorrad mobility services (e.g. Mobile Service, breakdown service, vehicle recovery service).
Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer will be happy provide information about the mobility services available to you.
Maintenance work BMW pre-delivery check
Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer conducts the BMW predelivery check before handing over the vehicle to you.

500...1200 km
BMW Service
The BMW Service is carried out once a year. The scope of the service depends on the age of the vehicle and the mileage ridden. Your BMW Motorrad Retailer will confirm the service that
has been carried out for you and will enter the deadline for the next service. For riders with a high mileage it may be necessary to have a service before the specified deadline. In this case, a corresponding maximum mileage is entered in the service confirmation. If this mileage is reached before the next service deadline, the service must be brought forward. The Service Interval Indicator in the TFT 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.
