BatteryMaintenance instructionsCorrect upkeep, recharging
and storage will prolong the
life of the battery and are es-
sential if warranty claims are
to be considered.
Compliance with the points
below is important in order to
maximise battery life:Keep the surface of the bat-
tery clean and dry
Do not open the battery
Do not top up with water
Be sure to read and com-
ply with the instructions for
charging the battery on the
following pages
Do not turn the battery up-
side down
If the battery is not dis-
connected, the on-board
electronics (e.g. clock, etc.)
gradually drain the battery. This can cause the battery
to run flat. If this happens,
warranty claims will not be ac-
cepted.
If the motorcycle is to be out
of use for more than four
weeks, disconnect the battery
or connect a suitable trickle
charger to the battery.
BMW Motorrad has de-
veloped a trickle-charger
specially designed for com-
patibility with the electronics
of your motorcycle. Using this
charger, you can keep the
battery charged during long
periods of disuse, without
having to disconnect the bat-
tery from the motorcycle's
on-board systems. You can
obtain additional information
from your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
