headlight bulb BMW MOTORRAD K 1200 S 2007 Rider's Manual (in English)

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.
