Service-due indicatorIf the next service is due in less

the next service is shown briefly
after the Pre-Ride Check com-
pletes. The month and year
show, accompanied by the word-
ing
SERVICE
; 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 due
date or the odometer reading at
which service was due 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.

Replacement and extra
keysYou can obtain replacement/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated secur-
ity system, so the dealer is un-
der an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys. If you
want to have a lost key barred,
you have to bring with you all
the other keys that belong to
the motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently be
cleared and reactivated for use.ClockSetting clock

Oil levelOil-level indicator1gives you
an indication of the engine oil
level. You can call up this read-
ing only when the motorcycle is
at a standstill.
The preconditions for the oil level
check are as follows:
Engine at operating temperat-
ure.
Engine idling for at least 30
seconds.
Side stand retracted.
Make sure the motorcycle is
upright. The readings mean:
Oil level is correct
Check the oil level with the
dipstick the next time you
stop for fuel. If you call up anoth-
er reading on the on-board com-
puter, this symbol remains visible
until the sensor again registers a
correct oil level.
Oil level cannot be meas-
ured (conditions as stated
above not satisfied).
The most recently measured
level is displayed for 5 seconds
when you next switch on the ig-
nition.
The oil sensor might be
defective if the "Check
oil level" message reappears
even though the oil level in the
oil sight glass is correct. In this
case, consult your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.

specific contact addresses and
the after-sales service organisa-
tion phone numbers in the "Ser-
vice Kontakt / Service Contact"
brochures, along with informa-
tion on Mobile Service and the
dealership network.BMW Motorrad service
networkBMW Motorrad has an extens-
ive after-sales service network in
place to look after you and your
motorcycle in more than 100
countries. In Germany alone, you

to approximately 200 authorised
BMW Motorrad dealers.

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.
