Locking handlebars

If the motorcycle is on the

side stand, the surface of

the ground will determine wheth-

er it is better to turn the handle-

bars to the left or right. However,

the motorcycle is more stable on

a level surface with the handle-

bars 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 the handlebars to the full

left or right lock position.

Turn the key to position 3,

while moving the handlebars

slightly.

Ignition, lights and all function

circuits switched off.

Handlebars locked.

Key can be removed.

Electronic immobiliser

(EWS)

Protection against theft

The electronic immobiliser helps

protect your BMW motorcycle

from theft, and this enhanced se-

curity is at your disposal without

any need for you to set paramet-

ers or activate additional systems.

The engine of a motorcycle fit-

ted with this electronic immobil-

iser can be started only with the

keys that belong to the vehicle.

You can also have your author-

ised BMW Motorrad dealer bar

individual keys, for example if a

particular key goes missing. The

engine cannot be started with a

key that has been barred.

In-key electronics

The motorcycle's electronics

exchange certain continuously

changing signals with the elec-

tronics in the key; these signals

are specific to your motorcycle

and they are transmitted via the

ring aerial in the ignition lock.

The ignition is not enabled for

starting until the key has been

recognised as "authorised" for

your motorcycle.

A spare key attached to

the same ring as the ig-

nition key used to start the en-

gine could "irritate" the electron-

ics, in which case the enabling

signal for starting is not issued.

The

EWS warning appears in the

multifunction display.

Always keep the spare key sep-

arately from the ignition key.
