Spring preload
Adjustment on rear wheel
It is essential to set spring
preload of the rear suspension
to suit the load carried by the
motorcycle. Increase spring
preload when the motorcycle is
heavily loaded and reduce spring
preload accordingly when the
motorcycle is lightly loaded.
Adjusting spring preload
for rear wheel
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Your motorcycle's han-
dling will suffer if you do
not match the spring-preload and
damping-characteristic settings.
Adjust the damping characteristic
to suit the spring preload.
Adjusting the spring preload
while the motorcycle is be-
ing ridden can lead to accidents.
Adjust the spring preload
only when the motorcycle is
stationary.
When adjusting the hand-
wheel, contact with the hot
muffler is possible.
Allow the muffler to cool down.

z
Operation
Adjust spring preload with
handwheel .1
To increase spring preload,
turn handwheel in direction
HARD.
To decrease spring preload,
turn handwheel in direction
SOFT.
Basic setting of spring
preload, rear
Turn handwheel completely
toward SOFT and then
10 turns toward HARD
(Full tank of gas, with rider
187 lbs (85 kg))
Damping
Adjustment on rear wheel
The damping must be adjust-
ed to the spring preload and the
road conditions.
An increase in spring preload re-
quires firmer damping, a reduc-
tion in spring preload requires
softer damping.
The stiffer the damping, the
greater the compensating
movement of the spring strut
is damped when riding on
rough road surfaces. When soft
damping is set, the spring strut
reacts correspondingly faster to
rough roads.
Adjusting damping on rear
wheel
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
There is a risk of injury
by burns if you adjust the
damping characteristic while the
muffler is hot.
Use screwdriver extension and
wear gloves.
Adjust damping with nut .1
To increase damping, turn
nut in direction .1 A
To decrease damping, turn
nut in direction .1 B

tion A, then turn 13 clicks in

Tires
Checking tire pressure
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure results in poorer hand-
ing characteristics of the motor-
cycle and reduces the life of the
tires.
Ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.
At high road speeds, tire
valves have a tendency to
open as a result of centrifugal
force.
Fit metal valve caps with rubber
seals and screw them on firmly
to prevent sudden deflation.
Check tire pressures against
the data below.
Tire pressure, front
27.6 psi (1.9 bar) (Single rid-
er, with cold tire)
29 psi (2 bar) (Driver with
passenger and/or load, with
cold tire)
Tire pressure, rear
30.5 psi (2.1 bar) (Single rid-
er, with cold tire)
33.4 psi (2.3 bar) (Driver with
passenger and/or load, with
cold tire)
If tire pressure is too low:
Correct tire pressure.
Headlight
Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asymmet-
ric low-beam headlight will tend
to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight adjusted to
the relevant conditions by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad retail-
er.

If too much pressure is ap-
plied in the forward direc-
tion, there is a danger that the
motorcycle will be pushed off its
stand.
Make sure that the motorcycle is
steady on its stand.
Lay on seat and push for-2
ward as far as possible.
Firmly press down on the seat
at the rear.

Safety instructions
Rider's equipment
Do not ride without the correct
clothing. Always wear:
Helmet
Rider's suit
Gloves
Boots
This applies even to short jour-
neys, and to every season of the
year. Your authorized BMW Mo-
torrad retailer will be happy to
advise you and has the correct
clothing for every purpose.
Speed
If you ride at high speed, always
bear in mind that various bound-
ary conditions can adversely af-
fect the handling of your motor-
cycle:
Settings of spring-strut and
shock absorber system
Imbalanced load
Loose clothing
Insufficient tire pressure
Poor tire tread
Etc.
Correct loading
Overloading and imbal-
anced loads can adversely
affect the motorcycle's handling.
Do not exceed the gross weight
limit and observe the loading
information.
Alcohol and drugs
Even small amounts of al-
cohol or drugs will adverse-
ly affect your perception and your
ability to assess situations and
make decisions, and slow down
your reflexes. Medication can ex-
acerbate these effects.
Do not ride your motorcycle after
consuming alcohol, drugs and/or
medication.
Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which is colorless and
odorless but highly toxic.
Inhaling exhaust fumes
therefore represents a
health hazard and can even
cause loss of consciousness with
fatal consequences.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Do not run the engine in closed
rooms.
High voltage
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.

If misfiring causes unburned fuel
to enter the catalytic converter,
there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
For this reason, observe the fol-
lowing points:
Do not run the fuel tank dry
Do not run the engine with the
spark-plug cap removed
Stop the engine immediately if
it misfires
Use unleaded fuel only
Comply with all specified main-
tenance intervals.
Unburned fuel will destroy
the catalytic converter.
Note the points listed for protec-
tion of the catalytic converter.
Risk of fire
Temperatures at the exhaust are
high.
Flammable materials (e.g.
hay, leaves, grass, clothing
and luggage, etc.) could ignite
if allowed to come into contact
with the hot exhaust pipe.
Make sure that no highly
flammable materials can come
in contact with the hot exhaust
system.
Cooling would be inade-
quate if the engine were al-
lowed to idle for a lengthy period
with the motorcycle at a stand-
still: overheating would result. In
extreme cases, the motorcycle
could catch fire.
Do not allow the engine to idle
unnecessarily. After starting, ride
off immediately.
Tampering with control
unit of electronic engine-
management system
Tampering with the engine
control unit can damage
the motorcycle and cause acci-
dents.
Do not tamper with the engine
control unit.
Tampering with the engine
control unit can result in
mechanical loads that the mo-
torcycle's components are not
designed to withstand. Damage
caused in this way is not covered
by the warranty.
Do not tamper with the engine
control unit.

Use the following checklist to
check important functions, set-
tings and wear limits before you
ride off.

wait for this procedure to be
completed to avoid problems
during driving.
Press starter button .1
At extremely low tempera-
tures it may be necessary
to operate the throttle twist grip
during starting. At ambient tem-
peratures below 32 °F (0 °C),
actuate the clutch after switching
on the ignition.
If the engine fails to start
although the starter turns,
insufficient battery voltage may
be the reason. Recharge the bat-
tery before you start the engine,
or use jump leads and a donor
battery to start.
Engine starts.
Consult the troubleshooting
chart if the engine refuses to
start. ( 96)
Pre-ride check
After the ignition is switched on,
the instrument cluster conducts a
test of the warning and indicator
lights and the display, the so-
called "Pre-Ride-Check".
Phase 1
All warning and indicator lights
and all segments of the multi-
function display are switched on
for a short time.
Phase 2
The tire parameters stored in the
instrument cluster are displayed
for a short time.
Then the instrument cluster as-
sumes normal operation.
If one of the specified warn-
ing and indicator lights was not
switched on, or if not all seg-
ments of the multifunction dis-
play are switched on:
If it was not possible to
switch on the warning
lights, possible malfunctions
cannot be indicated.
Watch all warning and indicator
lights on the display.
Have the malfunction corrected
as soon as possible by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
ABS self-diagnosis OE

Riding
Brake pads
New brake pads must "bed
down" and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 300 miles
(500 km). This initial reduction
in braking efficiency can be
compensated for by exerting
greater pressure on the levers.
New brake pads can ex-
tend stopping distance by a
significant margin.
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
New tires have not
achieved their full adhesion
yet. There is a danger of
accidents when driving at
extreme angles.
Avoid extreme angles.
Brakes
How is the shortest
braking distance
achieved?
The dynamic load distribution
between the front and rear wheel
changes during braking. The
heavier you brake, the more
the front wheel is loaded. The
greater the wheel load, the more
braking force can be transferred.
To achieve the shortest possible
braking distance, the front brake
must be applied quickly and with
increasing force. This optimal-
ly utilizes the dynamic load in-
crease on the front wheel. At the
same time, the clutch should al-
so be actuated. With the "forced
braking" often practiced in which
the brake pressure is generat-
ed as quickly as possible and
with great force, the dynamic
load distribution cannot follow
the increased deceleration and
the braking force cannot be com-
pletely transferred to the road
surface. To prevent the front
wheel from locking, the ABS sys-
tem must intervene and reduce
the brake pressure; the braking
distance increases.
Descending mountain
passes
There is a danger of the
brakes fading if you use on-
ly the rear brakes when descend-
ing mountain passes. Under
extreme conditions, the brakes
could overheat and suffer severe
damage.
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.

Riding
Wet brakes
After washing the motor-
cycle, after driving through
water or in the rain, braking can
be delayed due to damp brake
disks and brake pads.
Brake early until the brakes are
dry or braked until dry.
Salt on brakes
The full braking effect can
be delayed if the motor-
cycle is ridden on salt-covered
roads and the brakes are not ap-
plied for some time.
Brake early until the salt layer of
the brake disks and brake pads
has been braked off.
Oil or grease on brakes
Oil and grease on the brake
disks and pads considerably
diminish braking efficiency.
Especially after repair and main-
tenance tasks, make sure that
the brake disks and brake pads
are free of oil and grease.
Dirt or mud on brakes
When the motorcycle is
ridden on loose surfaces
or muddy roads, the brakes may
fail to take effect immediately
because of dirt or moisture on
the disks or brake pads.
Brake early until the brakes are
braked clean.
Driving on unpaved or dirty
roads leads to increased
brake pad wear.
Check the brake pad thickness
more often and replace the brake
pads sooner.
Parking your
motorcycle
Placing on side stand
If the ground is soft or un-
even, there is no guarantee
that the motorcycle will rest firm-
ly on the stand.
Always check that the ground
under the stand is level and
firm.
Switch off the engine.
Pull handbrake lever.
Hold motorcycle upright and
balanced.
Use your left foot to extend
side stand fully.
The side stand is designed
to support only the weight
of the motorcycle.
Do not lean or sit on the
motorcycle with the side stand
extended.
Slowly lean the motorcycle to
the side until its weight is taken

by the stand and dismount to
the left.
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.
However, the motorcycle is more
stable on a level surface with the
handlebars turned to the left than
with the handlebars turned to the
right.
On level ground, always turn the
handlebars to the left to set the
steering lock.
Turn handlebars to full left or
right lock position.
Check that the motorcycle is
standing firmly.
On a grade, the motorcycle
should always face uphill;
select 1st gear.
Lock steering lock.
Remove from side stand
Unlock steering lock.
From left, grip handlebars with
both hands.
Pull handbrake lever.
Swing your right leg over the
seat and lift motorcycle to up-
right position.
Hold motorcycle upright and
balanced.
An extended side stand can
catch on the ground when
the motorcycle is moving and
lead to a fall.
Retract the side stand before
moving the vehicle.
Sit on motorcycle and use your
left foot to retract side stand.
Refueling
Fuel is highly flammable.
Fire at the fuel tank can
result in fire and explosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel expands when ex-
posed to heat. When the
tank is overfilled, fuel can escape
and get onto the rear wheel.
This results in a danger of falling.
Do not fill the tank past the bot-
tom edge of the filler neck.
Fuel attacks plastic sur-
faces, making them cloudy
or unattractive.
Wipe off any fuel that gets onto
plastic parts immediately.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.

BMW Motorrad ABS OE
How does ABS work?
The maximum braking force that
can be transferred to the road
surface is partially dependent on
the friction coefficient of the road
surface. Gravel, ice, snow and
wet roads offer a considerably
poorer friction coefficient than a
dry, clean asphalt surface. The
poorer the friction coefficient of
the road surface is, the longer
the braking distance will be.
If the maximum transferrable
braking force is exceeded when
the driver increases the brake
pressure, the wheels begin to
block and driving stability is lost,
and a fall can result. Before this
situation occurs, ABS intervenes
and adjusts the brake pressure
to the maximum transferrable
braking force. This enables the
wheels to continue to turn and
maintains driving stability regard-
less of the road surface condi-
tion.
What happens when
rough roads are
encountered?
Bumpy or rough roads can briefly
lead to a loss of contact between
the tires and the road surface,
until the transferrable braking
force is reduced to zero. If brak-
ing is carried out in this situa-
tion, ABS must reduce the brake
pressure to ensure driving sta-
bility when restoring contact to
the road. At this point in time,
the BMW Motorrad ABS must
assume extremely low friction co-
efficients (gravel, ice, snow) so
that the running wheels turn in
every imaginable case and the
driving stability is ensured. After
detecting the actual conditions,
the system adjusts the optimum
brake pressure.
Lifting off rear wheel
Even during severe braking, a
high level of tire grip can mean
that the front wheel does not
lock up until very late, if at all.
Consequently, ABS does not in-
tervene until very late, if at all.
Under these circumstances the
rear wheel can lift off the ground,
and the outcome can be a high-
siding situation in which the mo-
torcycle can flip over.
Heavy braking can lead to
the rear wheel lifting off the
ground.
When braking, bear in mind that
the ABS control cannot be relied
on in all circumstances to prevent
the rear wheel from lifting off the
ground.
