Press starter button1.
If ambient temperatures
are very low, you might
find it necessary to open the
throttle slightly when starting
the engine. At ambient tem-
peratures below 0 °C, disen-
gage the clutch after switch-
ing on the ignition.
The start attempt is
automatically interrupted
if battery voltage is too low.
Recharge the battery before
you start the engine, or use
jump leads and a donor
battery to start. The engine starts.
Consult the troubleshooting
chart below if the engine
refuses to start. ( 132)
Pre-ride checkThe instrument cluster runs
a test of the 'General' warn-
ing light when the ignition
is switched on. The warn-
ing light shows first red and
then yellow, so that you can
check that it is in working or-
der. This pre-ride check is in-
dicated by the word
CHECK!
appearing in the display. The
test is aborted if you start the
engine before it completes.
Phase 1

Jump start
The wires leading to the
power socket do not
have a load-capacity rating
adequate for jump-starting
the engine. Excessively high
current can lead to a cable
fire or damage to the vehicle
electronics.
Do not use the on-board
socket to jump-start the
engine of the motorcycle.
Touching live parts of
the ignition system with
the engine running can cause
electric shock.
Do not touch parts of the igni-
tion system when the engine
is running.
A short-circuit can result
if the crocodile clips of
the jump leads are accident-
ally brought into contact with
the motorcycle.
Use only jump leads fitted with fully insulated crocodile
clips at both ends.
Jump-starting with a
donor-battery voltage
higher than 12 V can damage
the vehicle electronics.
Make sure that the battery
of the donor vehicle has a
voltage rating of 12 V.
If it is not standing firmly,
the motorcycle could
topple in the course of the
operations described below.
Always make sure that the
motorcycle is stable and
firmly supported.
When jump-starting the en-
gine, do not disconnect the
battery from the on-board
electrical system.
Remove the battery-
compartment cover

Run the engine of the donor
vehicle during jump-starting.
Begin by connecting one
end of the red jump lead
to the positive terminal of
the discharged battery and
the other end to the pos-
itive terminal of the donor
battery.
Then connect one end of
the black jump lead to the
negative terminal of the
donor battery, and the other
end to the negative terminal
of the discharged battery.
Start the engine of the
vehicle with the discharged
battery in the usual way; if
the engine does not start,
wait a few minutes before
repeating the attempt
in order to protect the
starter motor and the donor
battery.
Allow both engines to idle
for a few minutes beforedisconnecting the jump
leads.
Disconnect the jump lead
from the negative termin-
als first, then disconnect the
second lead from the posit-
ive terminals.

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
