335Operation
Locking the handlebars• Turn the handlebars to the full left or right lock position.
• Turn the key to the
1 posi-
tion for OFF, while moving
the handlebars slightly.
» Ignition, light and all function circuits switched off.
» Handlebars locked.
» In this position, you can remove the key. If the motorcycle is on the
side stand, the surface of
the ground will determine
whether it is better to turn the
handlebars to the left or right.
On level ground, a secure
stance is only ensured with the
handlebars turned to the left.
On level ground, always turn
the handlebars to the left and
lock them in this position.c
Brake servo assistance is
not available when the ig-
nition is off.
Do not switch off the ignition
when riding. c
Electronic immobiliserThe electronic immobiliser
helps protect your BMW
motorcycle from theft, and this
enhanced security is at your disposal without any need for
you to set parameters or acti-
vate additional systems. The
engine of a motorcycle fitted
with this electronic immobiliser
can only be started with the
keys that belong to the vehi-
cle. You can also have your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer bar individual keys, for
example if a particular key
goes missing. The engine can-
not be started with a key that
has been barred.
In-key securityAn electronic component is
integrated into each of your
keys. The motorcycle's elec-
tronics exchange certain con-
tinuously changing signals
with the electronics in the key;
these signals are specific to

Operation336
your motorcycle and they are
transmitted via the ring
antenna in the ignition lock.
The ignition is not enabled for
starting until the key has been
recognised as "authorised" for
your motorcycle.A spare key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the en-
gine could "upset" the elec-
tronics, in which case the
enabling signal for starting is
not issued. The "EWS" warn-
ing is displayed in the multi-
function display.
Always keep the spare key
separately from the ignition
key. c
Replacement keys and
extra keysYou can obtain replacement/
extra keys
only
through an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. The keys are part of an
integrated security system, so
the dealer is under an obliga-
tion to check the legitimacy of
all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
If you want to have a lost key
barred, you have to bring with
you all the keys that belong to
the motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently
be cleared and reactivated for
use.
