details in the following sections
before you start the journey:
–Fuel level

– Brake fluid levels (front and rear)
–Drive belt
– Warning lights and telltale lights
– Wheel rim and tyre condition, tread depth and tyre pres-

– Lights
– Check regularly (every time
you stop for fuel), on the basis
of the following section:

Checking lights
e Attention:
Always check that all lights are
in full working order before rid-
ing off.
L Note:
If turn indicator repeater flashes
at twice the usual speed:
Defective flasher bulb.
For instructions on changing
bulbs in parking light, headlight
(low beam and high beam), rear
light, brake light, turn indicators
and the number-plate light:
(
b Maintenance Instructions,
Chapter 2)
Headlight setting RHD/
LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asym-
metric low-beam headlight will
tend to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer, to
have the headlight adjusted to
suit whichever rule of the road
applies.
e Attention:
Adhesive films with unsuitable
adhesives can damage the
headlight lens.

Starting – Riding – Parking
Running in
Running in new brake
pads
d Warning:
New brake pads must “bed
down” and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 500 km
(300 miles).
This slight initial reduction in
braking efficiency can be
compensated for by exerting
greater pressure on the lever.
Try to avoid all unnecessary
hard braking during this initial
period.
Tyres: running in
d Warning:
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened
by riding in a restrained man-
ner at various heel angles
until the tyres are run in.
This running in procedure is
essential if the tyres are to
achieve maximum grip.

Starting – Riding – Parking
ABS is out of action:
– at speeds below 6 km/h / 3.73 mph (12 km/h /
7.46 mph – if brake lever/
pedal was operated before-
hand)
– when the ignition is switched off
– if the battery is defective or
flat (indicated by ABS warning
light)
– if there is a fault in the ABS
system (
b66)
 The brakes remain fully operational, though without
the reserves of safety
afforded by ABS.
OEOptional extra
d Warning:
If there is a fault in the ABS sys-
tem – as indicated by warning
light 1 – the reserves of safety
normally afforded by ABS are
not available until the defect has
been put right.
There is a risk of dropping the
motorcycle if the brakes are ap-
plied too hard and the wheels
lock or the rear wheel lifts clear
of the ground as a result of a
high level of front tyre adhesion.
The ABS system shuts down au-
tomatically if you ride for approx.
10 seconds with only one wheel
in contact with the ground.
