BMW K1300R User Manual

Range
The description of the residual-
range function ( 51) also cov-
ers range readout 1. You can
also view the range before the
fuel level drops to reserve.
A special average-consumption
figure is used to calculate range;
this figure is not necessarily the
same as the value you can call
up for viewing on the display.
When the motorcycle is propped
on its side stand the slight angle
of inclination means that the
sensor cannot register the fuel
level correctly. This is the reason
why the range is calculated only
when the motorcycle is on the
move.
The calculated range is only
an approximate reading.
Consequently, BMW Motorrad
recommends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.
Oil level
Oil-level indicator 1 gives you
an indication of the engine oil
level. You can call up this read-
ing only when the motorcycle is
at a standstill.
The preconditions for the oil level
check are as follows:
Engine at operating temperat-
ure.
Engine idling for at least 10
seconds.
Side stand retracted.
Make sure the motorcycle is
upright.
The readings mean:
OK: Oil level is correct.
CHECK: Check the oil level the
next time you stop for fuel.
If you call up another read-
ing on the on-board com-
puter, this symbol remains visible
until the sensor again registers a
correct oil level.
---: Oil level cannot be meas-
ured (conditions as stated above
not satisfied).
