Engine oil
Checking oil levelCheck oil level regularly each
time you stop to refuel.
Only check the engine oil when
the engine is at normal operat-
ing temperature as the oil level
can vary by up to 10 mm
(0.39 in) in a hot engine or a
cold engine at extreme outside
temperatures (-10 °C).
Wait at least five minutes after
switching off the hot engine for
the oil to collect in the sump.Checking the oil level after the
engine has only been used for a
short time or is only just warm
could lead to wrong interpretati-
ons and thereby to an incorrect
oil fill because the cold, more
viscous oil takes longer to flow
back into the sump. This can
take up to 12 hours at extreme
temperatures (-10 °C).
e Caution:
To avoid damage to the engine:
– Never exceed the maximum oil level.
– Always keep the oil level above the minimum mark.
Always check the oil level with
the motorcycle standing up-
right.
Check the oil when the engine is at normal operating tem-
perature
Read the oil level at least five minutes after switching off the
engine
Make sure that the motorcy-
cle is upright
– ensure that the surface is
level and firm!

Refuelling
d Warning:
Fuel is flammable and explo-
sive. Do not smoke. Never
bring a naked flame near the
fuel tank. Fuel expands when
hot (for instance if the fuel
tank is in the sun). For this
reason, only fill as far as the
lower edge of the filler neck.
e Caution:
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Do not run the fuel tank dry or
you may damage the engine or
catalytic converter.
Make sure that the motorcycle is upright
Open the fuel filler cap

Important notes
Catalytic converter
e Caution:
To avoid damage to the cata-
lytic converter:
Do not run the fuel tank dry
Push-start only when the engine is cold
Do not run the engine with a spark plug lead detached
Do not exceed the engine- speed limits marked on the
rev. counter
Comply with all specified maintenance intervals
Stop the engine at once if it misfires
In the event of misfiring or a
severe drop in engine power,
consult a specialist work-
shop, preferably an author-
ised BMW motorcycle dealer.
e Caution:
If misfiring or malfunction of the
fuel-air mixture preparation
system cause unburned fuel to
reach the catalytic converter,
there is a risk of it overheating
and being damaged.
