z OperationLocking handlebarsIf the motorcycle is on theside stand, the surface ofthe ground will determine whetherit is better to turn the handlebarsto the left or right. However,the motorcycle is more stable ona level surface with the handlebarsturned to the left than withthe handlebars turned to theright.On level ground, always turn thehandlebars to the left to set thesteering lock.Turn the handlebars to the fullleft or right lock position.Turn the key to position 3,while moving the handlebarsslightly.Ignition, lights and all functioncircuits switched off.Handlebars locked.Key can be removed.Electronic immobiliserProtection against theftThe electronic immobiliser helpsprotect your BMW motorcyclefrom theft, and this enhanced securityis at your disposal withoutany need for you to set parametersor activate additional systems.The engine of a motorcycle fittedwith this electronic immobilisercan be started only with thekeys that belong to the vehicle.You can also have your authorisedBMW Motorrad dealer barindividual keys, for example if aparticular key goes missing. Theengine cannot be started with akey that has been barred.In-key electronicsThe motorcycle's electronicsexchange certain continuouslychanging signals with the electronicsin the key; these signalsare specific to your motorcycleand they are transmitted via thering aerial in the ignition lock.The ignition is not enabled forstarting until the key has beenrecognised as "authorised" foryour motorcycle.A spare key attached tothe same ring as the ignitionkey used to start the enginecould "irritate" the electronics,in which case the enablingsignal for starting is not issued.The EWS warning appears in themultifunction display.Always keep the spare key separatelyfrom the ignition key.443

444z OperationReplacement and extrakeysYou can obtain replacement/extrakeys only through an authorisedBMW Motorrad dealer. The keysare part of an integrated securitysystem, so the dealer is underan obligation to check thelegitimacy of all applications forreplacement/extra keys. If youwant to have a lost key barred,you have to bring with you allthe other keys that belong tothe motorcycle. A key that hasbeen barred can subsequently becleared and reactivated for use.ClockSetting clockAttempting to set the clockwhile riding the motorcyclecan lead to accidents.Set the clock only when the motorcycleis stationary.Switch on the ignition.Repeatedly press button 1 untilthe odometer reading appearson the display.Alternatively, repeatedly pressbutton 2 until the total distancecovered reading appears onthe display.with OE On-board computeror with OE Tyre-pressuremonitoring (RDC):Repeatedly press button 2 untilthe clock appears on the display.In this case, the button inthe instrument cluster operatesonly the tripmeters.

If the sensor cannotregister the new level neitherthe fuel-level reading nor theresidual-range readout can beupdated.447Press and hold down button 2.In this case, the buttonon the handlebar fittingis for operating the on-boardcomputer or calling up the RDCreadings.Residual-range reading appearsaccompanied by the wordRANGE and indicates howfar you can ride with the fuelremaining in the tank. Thisreading is not displayed until fuellevel has dropped to reserve.This distance is calculated on thebasis of fuel level and averageconsumption.When you refuel, the increase infuel level is not registered unlessseveral litres are added to thefuel already in the tank.When refuelling after running onreserve, make sure that you topThe calculated range is anapproximate value. Consequently,BMW Motorrad recommendsthat you should nottry to use the full residual rangebefore refuelling.On-board computer OESelecting readingsSwitch on the ignition.

If the effect of the engine'sheat becomes excessive,-- temporarily appears on thedisplay.Average speed 1 is calculatedon the basis of the time elapsedsince the last reset. Timesduring which the engine wasstopped are excluded from thecalculation.

450z OperationRangeThe description of the residualrangefunction ( 47) also coversthe range readout. You canalso view range 1 before the fuellevel drops to reserve. A specialaverage-consumption figure isused to calculate range; this figureis not necessarily the sameas the value you can call up forviewing on the display.When the motorcycle is proppedon its side stand the slight angleof inclination means that thesensor cannot register the fuellevel correctly. This is the reasonwhy the range is calculated onlywhen the motorcycle is on themove.When refuelling after running onreserve, make sure that you topup the tank to a level above reserve,as otherwise the sensorwill not be able to register thenew level. If the sensor cannotregister the new level neither thefuel-level reading nor the rangereadout can be updated.The calculated range is onlyan approximate reading.Consequently, BMW Motorradrecommends that you should nottry to use the full range beforerefuelling.Oil levelOil-level indicator 1 gives youan indication of the engine oillevel. You can call up this readingonly when the motorcycle isat a standstill.The preconditions for the oil levelcheck are as follows:Engine at operating temperature.Engine idling for at least 10seconds.Side stand retracted.Make sure the motorcycle isupright.

574RidingzBrakesHow can stoppingdistance be minimised?Each time the brakes are applied,a load distribution shift takesplace with the load shifting forwardfrom the rear to the frontwheel. The sharper the motorcycledecelerates, the more loadis shifted to the front wheel. Thehigher the wheel load, the morebraking force can be transmittedwithout the wheel locking.To optimise stopping distance,apply the front brakes rapidly andkeep on increasing the force youapply to the brake lever. Thismakes the best possible useof the dynamic increase in loadat the front wheel. Rememberto pull the clutch at the sametime. In the "panic braking situations"that are trained so frequentlybraking force is appliedas rapidly as possible and withthe rider's full force applied tothe brake levers; under these circumstancesthe dynamic shiftin load distribution cannot keeppace with the increase in decelerationand the tyres cannottransmit the full braking force tothe surface of the road. ABS hasto intervene to keep the frontwheel from locking; this increasesstopping distance.Descending mountainpassesThere is a danger of thebrakes fading if you useonly the rear brakes when descendingmountain passes. Underextreme conditions, the brakescould overheat and suffer severedamage.Use both front and rear brakes,and make use of the engine'sbraking effect as well.Wet brakesAfter the motorcycle hasbeen washed, riddenthrough water or ridden inthe rain, the brake discs andpads might be wet and thebrakes might not take effectimmediately.Apply the brakes in good timeuntil the brakes have dried out.Salt on brakesThe brakes may fail to takeeffect immediately if themotorcycle was ridden on saltcoveredroads and the brakeswere not applied for some time.Apply the brakes in good timeuntil the salt layer on the brakediscs and brake pads has beenremoved.

z RidingOil or grease on brakesOil and grease on the brakediscs and pads considerablydiminish braking efficiency.Especially after repair and maintenancework, make sure that thebrake discs and brake pads arefree of oil and grease.Dirt or mud on brakesWhen riding on loose surfacesor muddy roads, thebrakes may fail to take effectimmediately because of dirt ormoisture on the discs or brakepads.Apply the brakes in good timeuntil the brakes have beencleaned.Parking yourmotorcyclePlacing motorcycle onside standIf the ground is soft or uneven,there is no guaranteethat the motorcycle will restfirmly on the stand.Always check that the groundunder the stand is level andfirm.Switch off the engine.Pull the handbrake lever.Hold the motorcycle uprightand balanced.Use your left foot to extend theside stand fully.The side stand is designedto support only the weightof the motorcycle.Do not lean or sit on themotorcycle with the side standextended.Slowly lean the motorcycle tothe side until its weight is takenby the stand and dismount tothe left.If the motorcycle is on theside stand, the surface ofthe ground will determine whetherit is better to turn the handlebarsto the left or right.

680Engineering detailszBrake system withBMW Motorrad IntegralABSPartially integral brakesYour motorcycle is equipped withpartially integral brakes. Bothfront and rear brakes are appliedwhen you pull the handbrakelever. The footbrake lever actsonly on the rear brake.While the brakes are slowing themotorcycle, the BMW MotorradIntegral ABS adapts braking-forcedistribution between front andrear brakes to suit the load onthe motorcycle.The integral braking functionmakes it very difficultto spin the rear wheel by openingthe throttle with the front brakeapplied to keep the motorcyclestationary (burn-out). Attemptedburn-outs can result in damageto the rear brake and the clutch.Do not attempt burn-outs.How does ABS work?The amount of braking force thatcan be transferred to the roaddepends on factors hat includethe coefficient of friction of theroad surface. Loose stones, iceand snow or a wet road all havemuch lower coefficients of frictionthan a clean, dry asphalt surface.The lower the coefficientof friction, the longer the brakingdistance.If the rider increases brakingpressure to the extent that brakingforce exceeds the maximumtransferrable limit, the wheelsstart to lock and the motorcycleloses its directional stability; a fallis imminent. Before this situationcan occur, ABS intervenes andadapts braking pressure to themaximum transferrable brakingforce, so the wheels continueto turn and directional stabilityis maintained irrespective of thecondition of the road surface.What are the effects ofsurface irregularities?Humps and surface irregularitiescan cause the wheels tolose contact temporarily with theroad surface; if this happens thebraking force that can be transmittedto the road can drop tozero. If the brakes are appliedunder these circumstances theABS has to reduce braking forceto ensure that directional stabilityis maintained when thewheels regain contact with theroad surface. At this instant theBMW Motorrad Integral ABSmust assume an extremely lowcoefficient of friction, so that thewheels will continue to rotate underall imaginable circumstances,because this is the preconditionfor ensuring directional stability.As soon as is registers the actualcircumstances, the systemreacts instantly and adjusts brak-

z Engineering detailsing force accordingly to achieveoptimum braking.What feedback does therider receive from theBMW Motorrad IntegralABS?If the ABS system has to reducebraking force on account of thecircumstances described above,vibration is perceptible throughthe handbrake lever.When the handbrake lever ispulled, brake pressure is alsobuilt up at the rear wheel bythe integral function. If thebrake pedal is depressed afterthe handbrake lever is pulled,the brake pressure built upbeforehand is perceptible ascounter-pressure sooner than isthe case when the brake pedal isdepressed either before or at thesame time as the brake lever ispulled.Rear wheel liftEven under severe braking, ahigh level of tyre grip can meanthat the front wheel does notlock up until very late, if at all.Consequently, ABS does not interveneuntil very late, if at all.Under these circumstances therear wheel can lift off the ground,and the outcome can be a highsidingsituation in which the motorcyclecan flip over.Severe braking can causethe rear wheel to lift off theground.When you brake, bear in mindthat ABS control cannot be reliedon in all circumstances to preventthe rear wheel from lifting clear ofthe ground.What is the designbaseline for BMWMotorrad Integral ABS?Within the limits imposed byphysics, the BMW Motorrad IntegralABS ensures directionalstability on any surface. The systemis not optimised for specialrequirements that apply underextreme competitive situationsoff-road or on the track.Special situationsThe speeds of the front and rearwheels are compared as onemeans of detecting a wheel'sincipient tendency to lock. If thesystem registers implausible valuesfor a lengthy period the ABSfunction is deactivated for safetyreasons and an ABS fault messageis issued. Self-diagnosishas to complete before faultmessages can be issued.In addition to problems with theBMW Motorrad Integral ABS,681

682Engineering detailszexceptional riding conditions canlead to a fault message beingissued.Exceptional ridingconditions:Heating up with the motorcycleon the centre stand or an auxiliarystand, engine idling or witha gear engaged.Rear wheel locked by the enginebrake for a lengthy period,for example while descendingoff-road.If a fault message is issued onaccount of exceptional ridingconditions as outlined above, youcan reactivate the ABS functionby switching the ignition off andon again.What significancedevolves on regularmaintenance?Invariably, a technical systemcannot perform beyondthe abilities dictated by its levelof maintenance.In order to ensure that the BMWMotorrad ABS is always maintainedin optimum condition, itis essential for you to complystrictly with the specified inspectionintervals.Reserves for safetyThe potentially shorter brakingdistances which BMW MotorradIntegral ABS permits must not beused as an excuse for carelessriding. ABS is primarily a meansof ensuring a safety margin ingenuine emergencies.Take care when cornering. Whenyou apply the brakes on a corner,the motorcycle's weight andmomentum take over and evenBMW Motorrad Integral ABS isunable to counteract their effects.Electronic enginemanagement with BMWMotorrad ASC OEHow does ASC work?The BMW Motorrad ASC comparesthe speed of rotation of thefront wheel and the rear wheel.The differential is used to computeslip as a measure of thereserves of stability available atthe rear wheel. If slip exceeds acertain limit the electronic enginemanagement system intervenes,adapting engine torque accordingly.

z Engineering detailsWhat is the designbaseline for BMWMotorrad ASC?BMW Motorrad ASC is designedas an assistant system for therider and for use on public roads.The extent to which the rider affectsASC control can be considerable(weight shifts when cornering,items of luggage looseon the motorcycle), especiallywhen style of riding takes riderand machine close to the limitsimposed by physics. The systemis not optimised for special requirementsthat apply under extremecompetitive situations offroador on the track. You havethe option of deactivating theBMW Motorrad ASC system forthese circumstances.Even ASC is constrained bythe laws of physics. Invariably,the rider bears responsibilityfor assessing road and trafficconditions and adopting his orher style of riding accordingly.Do not take risks that would negatethe additional safety offeredby this system.Special situationsIn accordance with the laws ofphysics, the ability to accelerateis restricted more and more asthe angle of heel increases. Consequently,there can be a perceptiblelag in acceleration out ofvery tight bends.The speeds of the front andrear wheels are compared asone means of detecting the rearwheel's incipient tendency tospin or slip sideways. If the systemregisters implausible valuesfor a lengthy period the ASCfunction is deactivated for safetyreasons and an ASC fault messageis issued. Self-diagnosishas to complete before faultmessages can be issued.The BMW Motorrad ASC canshut down automatically underthe exceptional riding conditionsoutlined below.Exceptional ridingconditions:Riding for a lengthy period withthe front wheel lifted off theground (wheelie) and ASC deactivated.Rear wheel rotating with themotorcycle held stationary byapplying the front brake (burnout).Heating up with the motorcycleon the centre stand or an auxiliarystand, engine idling or witha gear engaged.Accelerating the motorcycle toa speed in excess of 10 km/hafter switching the ignition offand then on again reactivates theASC.683

684Engineering detailszIf the front wheel lifts clear of theground under severe acceleration,the ASC reduces enginetorque until the front wheel regainscontact with the ground.Under these circumstances,BMW Motorrad recommendsrolling the throttle slightly closedso as to restore stability with theleast possible delay.When riding on a slippery surface,never snap the throttletwistgrip fully closed withoutpulling the clutch at the sametime. Engine braking torque cancause the rear wheel to lock, witha corresponding loss of stability.The BWM Motorrad ASC is unableto control a situation of thisnature.Tyre pressuremonitoring RDC OEFunctionA sensor integrated into eachtyre measures the air temperatureand the air pressure insidethe tyre and transmits this informationto the control unit.Each sensor has a centrifugalforcetripswitch that does notenable transmission of the measuredvalues until the motorcyclehas accelerated to about 30 km/h. The display shows -- foreach tyre until the tyre-pressuresignal is received for the firsttime. The sensors continue totransmit the measured-value signalsfor approximately 15 minutesafter the motorcycle comes to astop.The control unit can administratefour sensors, so two differentsets of wheels with RDCsensors can be alternated onthe motorcycle. An error messageis issued if wheels withoutsensors are fitted to a motorcycleequipped with an RDC controlunit.TemperaturecompensationThe tyre-pressure readingsshown by the multifunctiondisplay are temperaturecompensated;the reference tyretemperature for these readingsis always 20 °C. The air linesavailable to the public in petrolstations and motorway serviceareas almost invariably showtemperature-dependent tyrepressures, so in most instancesthese gauge readings will nottally with the readings shown bythe multifunction display.

z Engineering detailsTyre-pressure rangesThe RDC control unit differentiatesbetween three tyre-pressureranges, all of which are parameterisedfor the motorcycle:Tyre pressure within permittedtolerance.Tyre pressure close to limit ofpermitted tolerance.Tyre pressure outside permittedtolerance.685
