If the battery is not char-
ging, continuing to ride can
cause it to discharge completely,
in which case it will suffer irrepar-
able damage.
If possible, do not continue your
journey.
Battery is not being charged.
You can continue to ride until
the battery is discharged. Bear
in mind, however, that the en-
gine could cut out suddenly
and that the battery could dis-
charge until completely flat,
in which case it might have
suffered irreparable damage.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

Engine oilChecking engine oil level
The engine can seize if the
oil level is low, and this can
lead to accidents.
Always make sure that the oil
level is correct.
Oil can collect in the sump
if the motorcycle is out of
use for an extended period of
time; this oil has to be pumped into the oil tank before the level
is read. The engine oil must be
at operating temperature to do
this. Checking the oil level with
the engine cold or after no more
than a short ride will lead to mis-
interpretation; this in turn, means
that the engine will be operated
with the incorrect quantity of oil.
In order to ensure that the en-
gine oil level is read correctly,
check the oil level only after a
lengthy trip.
Make sure the engine is at op-
erating temperature and hold
the motorcycle upright.
with OA Centre stand:
Check that the engine is at op-
erating temperature, make sure
the ground is level and firm
and place the motorcycle on its
centre stand.
Allow the engine to idle for one
minute.
899zMaintenance

Press the lever down to the
ground.BulbsGeneral instructionsThe failure of a bulb is signalled
in the display by the defective
lamp symbol. If the brake or rear
light fails, the symbol is accom-
panied by the 'General' warning
light, which lights up yellow. If
the rear light fails the second fil-
ament of the brake light shines
at reduced brightness to double
as a rear light. Even though you
have this substitute rear light, theindicators in the display tell you
that a bulb defect has occurred.
A defective bulb places
your safety at risk because
it is easier for other users to
oversee the motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always carry a
complete set of spare bulbs if
possible.
The bulb is pressurised and
can cause injury if dam-
aged.
Wear protective goggles and
gloves when changing bulbs.
The types of bulb fitted to
your motorcycle are listed
in the section entitled "Technical
data".
Do not touch the glass of
new bulbs with your fingers.
Use a clean, dry cloth to hold
the bulbs when handling them.
Dirt deposits, in particular oil and
grease, interfere with heat radi- ation from the bulb. This leads
to overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.

high-beam headlight bulb
