Important notes
Risk of fatal accident
Your motorcycle is equipped with
a digital electronic engine
management system and a high-
power ignition system.
W
When the engine is running or
the ignition switched on, never
touch electrically live parts of
the ignition system or the digital
engine electronics.
BMW Integral ABS
W
When the ignition is switched
off or if the BMW Integral ABS
fails, only a RESIDUAL BRAK-
ING FUNCTION remains avail-
able for slowing the motorcycle
(
b 87).
Under these circumstances you
must apply CONSIDERABLY
higher pressure to the brake
levers in order to apply the
brakes, and lever travel is longer
Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which is colorless and
odorless but highly toxic.
W
Inhaling the exhaust fumes
therefore represents a health
risk and can even cause loss of
consciousness with fatal con-
sequences.
Do not run the engine in an
enclosed space.
