Electronic immobiliser
EWS
The electronic design of the
motorcycle allows it to access
data stored in the ignition key by
means of a ring antenna located
in the ignition switch. The igni-
tion is not enabled for starting
until the engine control unit has
recognised the key as "author-
ised" for your motorcycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
! EWS warning appears in the
multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your key, you
can have it barred by your
BMW Motorrad authorised
dealer. If you wish to do this, you
will need to bring all other keys
for the motorcycle with you.
The engine cannot be started by
a barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain replacement/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated security
system, so the dealer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
