50 4 48 z Operation Tires Checking tire pressure Incorrect tire inflation pressure results in poorer handing characteristics of the Scooters and reduces the life of the tires. Ensure proper tire inflation pressure. At high road speeds, tire valves installed perpendicular to the wheel rim have a tendency to open as a result of centrifugal force. In order to avoid a sudden loss of tire inflation pressure, fit a valve cap with rubber sealing ring to the rear tire and make sure that the cap is screwed on firmly. Make sure ground is level and firm and park scooter. Check tire pressures against data below. Tire pressure, front 34.8 psi (2.4 bar) (With tire cold) Tire pressure, rear 36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Single rider, with cold tires) 42.1 psi (2.9 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 This vehicle's headlight features a symmetrical low beam. No special adjustments or procedures are required prior to operating the vehicle in a country where traffic travels on the side of the road opposite to that of your home country (left-hand drive to right-hand drive or vice versa). Headlight range and spring preload The headlight range generally remains constant due to the adjustment of the spring preload to the loading state. If you are unsure whether the headlight range is correct, consult a specialized workshop, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.

Your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer will be happy to advise you and has the correct clothing for every purpose. Loading Overloading and imbalanced loads can adversely affect the scooter's handling. Do not exceed the gross weight limit and observe the loading information. Adjust spring preload and tire inflation pressure for current gross vehicle weight. with luggage carrier OA Comply with maximum payload of luggage rack. Payload of luggage rack max 20 lbs (max 9 kg) with Topcase OA Observe maximum payload and permissible top speed of Topcase. Payload of Topcase max 11 lbs (max 5 kg) Speed limit for driving with Topcase max 81 mph (max 130 km/ h) Speed If you ride at high speed, always bear in mind that various boundary conditions can adversely affect the handling of your scooter: Settings of spring-strut and shock absorber system Imbalanced load Loose clothing Insufficient tire inflation pressure Poor tire tread Etc. 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.

55 z Riding Do not run the engine in closed rooms. Burn hazard Engine and exhaust system become very hot when the vehicle is in use. There is a risk of burn injuries by contact with hot surfaces, particularly at the muffler. When you park the scooter make sure that no-one comes into contact with the engine and exhaust system. Catalytic converter If misfiring causes unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, there is a danger of overheating and damage. For this reason, observe the following 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 maintenance intervals. Unburned fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Note the points listed for protection of the catalytic converter. Danger of overheating Cooling would be inadequate if the engine were allowed to idle for a lengthy period with the motorcycle at a standstill: overheating would result. In extreme cases, the motorcycle could catch fire. Do not allow the engine to idle unnecessarily. After starting, ride off immediately. Modifications Modifications of the Scooter (e.g. engine management system, throttle valves, clutch) can cause damage to the affected components and failure of safety-related functions. Damage caused in this way is not covered by the warranty. Do not make any modifications. Checklist Use the following checklist to check important functions, settings and wear limits before you ride off: Brakes Brake fluid levels for front and rear brake Spring preload Tread depth and tire pressure Secure luggage attachment At regular intervals: 5 53

56 5 54 Riding z Engine oil level (every time you refuel) Brake pad wear (during every third stop for refueling) Starting Starting the engine Switch on ignition. Pre-ride check is performed. ( 54) ABS self-diagnosis in progress. ( 55) Operate brake. Press starter button 1. Vehicle cannot be started with side stand extended. If side stand is extended with engine running, engine stops. Engine starts. Consult the troubleshooting chart if the engine refuses to start. ( 106) Pre-ride check After the ignition is switched on, the instrument cluster conducts a test of the pointer instruments and the warning and indicator lights, i.e. the "Pre-Ride-Check". This test routine stops if the engine is started before it is completed. Phase 1 The speedometer pointer is moved up to the end stop. The indicator and warning lights are switched on. Phase 2 The speedometer pointer is moved back. The switched-on indicator and warning lights are switched off. If the pointer has not been moved, or if one of the warning and indicator lights has not been 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 at a specialist service facility, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.

57 z Riding ABS self-diagnosis The readiness for operation of the BMW Motorrad ABS is checked by the self-diagnosis. The self-diagnosis routine runs automatically when you switch on the ignition. To check the wheel sensors, the Scooter must be driven a few yards. Phase 1 Check on system components monitored by diagnostic system while vehicle is parked. ABS warning lamp flashes. Phase 2 Checking wheel sensors while starting off. ABS warning lamp flashes. ABS self-diagnosis completed The ABS warning lamp goes out. If an ABS error is indicated following completion of the ABS self-diagnosis routine: It remains possible to continue riding. It must be noted that the ABS function is not available. Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at a specialist service facility, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Riding At engine speeds below the starting speed of approx rpm, the centrifugal clutch opens and the.scooter is idling. It the engine speed is increased above the starting speed, the clutch closes and the Scooter starts off.scooter In the range from approx. 31 mph (50 km/h) to approx. 68 mph (110 km/h), the engine operates at a constant speed in the range of the maximum torque. The change in the speed is achieved by adjusting the gear ratio in the steplessly adjustable transmission. This only slightly changes the engine noise in this speed range. Initial speeds above approx. 110 km/h are achieved by increasing the engine speed. Breaking in Engine Drive in frequently changing load ranges prior to your first inspection. Try to do most of your riding during this initial period on 5 55

58 5 56 Riding z twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoiding highways if possible. Have the first inspection carried out after mls (500-1,200 km). Brake pads New brake pads must be run in before they achieve their optimum friction force. This initial reduction in braking efficiency can be compensated for by exerting greater pressure on the brake levers. New brake pads can extend stopping distance by a significant margin. Brake early. Tires New tires have a smooth surface. This must be roughened by riding in a restrained manner at various heel angles until the tires are run in. This running in procedure is essential if the tires are to achieve maximum grip. New tires do not provide full tire traction. Accident hazards exist in particular on wet roads and at extreme angles. Always think well ahead and avoid extreme angles. Brakes How do you achieve the shortest stopping distances? During braking the load distribution changes dynamically between the front and the rear wheel. The heavier you brake, the greater the weight transfer to the front wheel. Increases in the load at an individual wheel are accompanied by a rise in the effective braking force that the wheel can provide. To achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the front brake must be applied quickly and with increasing force. This procedure provides ideal exploitation of the extra weight transfer to the front wheel. With the "forced braking" often practiced in which the brake pressure is generated as quickly as possible and with great force, the dynamic load distribution cannot follow the increased deceleration and the braking force cannot be completely transferred to the road surface. The front wheel can lock up. Locking up of the front wheel is prevented by the BMW Motorrad ABS. Descending mountain passes There is a danger of the brakes fading if you use only the rear brakes when descending mountain passes.

59 z Riding 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. Wet, soiled brakes Moisture and dirt on the brake disks and the brake pads result in a decrease in the braking action. Delayed or poorer braking action must be expected in the following situations: When driving in the rain and through puddles. After washing the vehicle. When driving on roads spread with salt. After working on the brakes due to oil or grease residues. When driving on soiled roads or offroad. Poor braking action due to moisture and dirt. Brake until brakes are dry or clean; clean if necessary. Brake early until the full braking action is available again. Scooter Parking Side stand Switch off engine. If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guarantee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. Extend side stand and park Scooter. The parking brake prevents the vehicle from rolling. The side stand is designed to support only the weight of the Scooter. Do not lean or sit on the Scooter with the side stand extended. If the slope of the road permits, turn the handlebars to the left. Center stand Switch off engine. If the ground is soft or uneven, there is no guarantee that the motorcycle will rest firmly on the stand. Always check that the ground under the stand is level and firm. Excessive movements could result in the center stand retracting, and the vehicle would topple as a result. Do not sit on the Scooter while it is resting on the center stand. Extend center stand and jack up Scooter. 5 57

60 5 58 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. Riding z Fuel attacks plastic surfaces, making them cloudy or unattractive. Immediately wipe off plastic parts after contact with fuel. Make sure ground is level and firm and place Scooter on its center stand. Press vehicle key downward and then turn counterclockwise. Open fuel filler cap 2. Fuel expands when exposed to heat. When the tank is overfilled, fuel can escape and get onto the road. This results in a danger of falling. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leaded fuel will destroy the catalytic converter. Use only unleaded fuel. In case of jamming, press tank cover 1 toward rear and then fold open toward front. Refuel with quality listed below at most until lower edge of filler neck is reached.

61 z Riding When refueling after running on reserve, make sure that you top up the tank to a level above reserve, as otherwise the sensor will not be able to register the new level and the fuel warning lamp will not be switched off. Recommended fuel quality Super unleaded (E10) 89 AKI (95 ROZ/RON) 89 AKI Usable fuel quantity Close fuel filler cap 2. Secure vehicle for transport Protect all component surfaces against which straps are routed against scratching. For example, use adhesive tape or soft cloths Approx. 4.2 gal (Approx. 16 l) Fuel reserve Approx. 3.2 quarts (Approx. 3 l) Press tank cover 1 into locking device. The Scooter can tip away to the side and fall over. Secure the Scooter against tipping away to the side. Push vehicle onto transport surface, and do not place on side stand or center stand.

63 z Technology in detail Technology in detail Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS Tire Pressure Control TPC/RDC

64 6 62 Technology in detail z Brake system with BMW Motorrad ABS 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 lock 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 regardless of the road surface condition. 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 transferable braking force is reduced to zero. If braking is carried out in this situation, ABS must reduce the brake pressure to ensure driving stability when restoring contact to the road. At this point in time, the BMW Motorrad ABS must assume extremely low friction coefficients (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 intervene 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 Scooter 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 always be relied on to prevent the rear wheel from lifting off the ground.

65 z Technology in detail What are the design characteristics of the BMW Motorrad ABS? The BMW Motorrad ABS ensures driving stability on any surface within the limits of driving physics. The system is not optimized for special requirements resulting under extreme weather conditions offroad or on the racetrack. Special situations To detect the tendency of the wheels to lock up, the speeds of the front and rear wheel are compared. If implausible values are detected over a longer period of time, the ABS function is deactivated for safety reasons and an ABS fault is indicated. The condition for a fault message is the completed self-diagnosis. In addition to problems on the BMW Motorrad ABS, unusual driving conditions can also lead to a fault message. Unusual driving conditions: Driving on the rear wheel (wheely) for a longer period. Rear wheel spinning in place with front brake pulled (burn out). Locked-up rear wheel for a longer period of time, e.g. when riding downhill offroad. Should a fault message result due to one of the driving conditions described above, the ABS function can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. How important is regular maintenance? Any technical system is always only as good as its maintenance condition. To ensure that the BMW Motorrad ABS is in an optimally maintained condition, it is vital that the specified inspection intervals be complied with. Reserves for safety But remember: the potentially shorter braking distances which BMW Motorrad ABS permits must not be used as an excuse for careless riding. ABS is primarily a means of ensuring a safety margin in genuine emergencies. Take care when cornering. When you apply the brakes on a corner, the vehicle's weight and momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to counteract their effects. 6 63

66 6 64 Technology in detail z Tire Pressure Control TPC/RDC with Tire Pressure Control (TPC/RDC) OE Function A sensor is located in each tire, which measures the air temperature and the inflation pressure inside the tire and sends these values to the control unit. The sensors are equipped with a centrifugal controller, which does not enable the transmission of the measured values until a speed of approx. 18 mph (30 km/h) is reached. Before initial reception of the tire inflation pressure,-- is shown in the display for each tire. The sensors continue to transmit the measured values for approx. 15 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop. The control unit can manage four sensors, and as a result two sets of wheels with TPC/RDC sensors can be driven. If a TPC/RDC control unit is installed, however the wheels have no sensors, then an error message is output. Temperature compensation The tire inflation pressure is temperature dependent, i.e. it increases or decreases together with the tire temperature. The tire temperature is dependent on the ambient temperature and on the driving style and duration. The tire inflation pressures are shown temperature-compensated in the multifunction display; they refer to a tire temperature of 68 F (20 C). No temperature compensation takes place in the inflation pressure testers at filling stations, i.e. the measured tire inflation pressure is dependent on the tire temperature. As a result, the values displayed there do not match the values shown in the multifunction display in most cases. Adjusting inflation pressure Compare the TPC/RDC value in the multifunction display with the value on the back cover of the Rider's Manual. The difference between the two values must be compensated with the air pressure tester at the filling station. Example: according to the Rider's Manual, the tire inflation pressure is to be 36 psi (2.5 bar), however 33 psi (2.3 bar) is shown in the multifunction display; the tires are underinflated by 3 psi (0.2 bar). The tester at the filling station indicates 34.8 psi (2.4 bar). This value must be increased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) to 37.8 psi (2.6 bar) in

Removing battery ( 96). Engine oil Checking engine oil level After longer Scooter immobilization periods, engine oil can collect in the oil pan; this must be pumped into the oil tank before the reading is taken. Here, the engine oil must be at operating temperature. Checking the oil level with the engine cold or after a short trip leads to misinterpretations and therefore to incorrect oil fill quantities.

77 z Maintenance To ensure that the display of the engine oil level is correct, only check the oil level after a longer trip. Make sure ground is level and firm and place Scooter on its center stand. Let the engine run in neutral for one minute. Switch off ignition. Remove cover 2 upward. Wipe area around oil filler location clean. Clean measuring range 2 of oil dipstick with a dray cloth.

Checking brake pad thickness of parking brake Make sure ground is level and firm and place Scooter on its center stand. Check the brake pad thickness with visual inspection. Viewing direction: from right toward brake pads 1. If the wear indicating marks are no longer visible: Dropping below the minimum pad thickness leads to reduced braking performance and may result in damage to the brakes.

81 z Maintenance Brake-pad wear limit of parking brake min 0.04 in (min 1.0 mm) (Wear markings (grooves) must be clearly visible.) If brake pads have dropped below minimum pad thickness: If the pad thickness drops below the minimum thickness, then braking performance is reduced and the Scooter may move despite the side stand being extended.. To prevent the Scooter from falling over, do not drop below the minimum pad thickness. Have the brake pads replaced by a specialist service facility, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Checking brake fluid level of front brake A low fluid level in the brake reservoir can allow air to penetrate the brake system. This significantly reduces braking efficiency. Check brake fluid level regularly. Make sure ground is level and firm and place Scooter on its center stand. Read off brake fluid level on right-hand brake-fluid reservoir 1. The brake fluid level in the brake-fluid reservoir drops due to brake pad wear. 8 79

84 8 82 z Maintenance Open cap 2 of coolant expansion tank and add coolant up to specified level. Checking coolant level ( 81). Close cap of coolant expansion tank. Lay on cover and install screw 1. Rims and tires Checking rims Park the Scooter while always checking that the ground under the stand is level and firm when doing so. Visually inspect rims for defects. Have damaged rims checked and, if necessary, replaced by a specialist service facility, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer. Checking tire tread depth Mount step plate support 1. The handling of your Scooter can already change for the worse before the legally prescribed minimum tread depth is reached. Have tires replaced even before the minimum tread depth is reached.

85 z Maintenance Make sure ground is level and firm and place Scooter on its center stand. Measure tire tread depth in main tread grooves with wear indicators. Tread wear marks are integrated into the main grooves on every tire. If the tire tread has worn down to the level of the marks, the tire is completely worn. The locations of the marks are indicated on the edge of the tire, e.g. by the letters TI, TWI or by an arrow. When the minimum tread depth is reached: Replace the worn tires. Wheels Tire recommendation For every size of tire, BMW Motorrad has tested and approved certain makes as roadworthy. BMW Motorrad cannot evaluate the suitability of other tires, and can therefore take no responsibility for their driving safety. BMW Motorrad recommends only using the tires tested and approved by BMW Motorrad. Extensive information is available at your authorized BMW Motorrad retailer or on the Internet at Affect of wheel size on ABS The wheel sizes play a major role with the ABS system. Especially the diameter and width of the wheels are stored in the control unit as the basis for all necessary calculations. A change in these sizes due to conversion to others than the wheels installed as standard equipment can seriously affect the control comfort of the system. The sensor wheels required for wheel speed detection must also match the system installed and may not be replaced. If you want to equip your Scooter with different wheels, please speak to a specialized workshop, and preferably a BMW Motorrad retailer. In some cases the data stored in the control unit can be adapted to the new wheel sizes. Removing front wheel Remove screws 1 and 2 on left and right and take off front wheel cover toward front. 8 83
