your motorcycle and they are
transmitted via the ring
antenna 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 igni-
tion key used to start the en-
gine could "upset" the elec-
tronics, in which case the
enabling signal for starting is
not issued. The "EWS" warn-
ing is displayed in the multi-
function display.
Always keep the spare key
separately from the ignition
key.c
Replacement keys and
extra keys
You can obtain replacement/
extra keys
only
through an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. The keys are part of an
integrated security system, so
the dealer is under an obliga-
tion to check the legitimacy of
all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
If you want to have a lost key
barred, you have to bring with
you all the keys that belong to
the motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently
be cleared and reactivated for
use.
