If ambient temperatures are
very low, you might find it
necessary to open the throttle
slightly when starting the engine.
At ambient temperatures below
0 °C, disengage the clutch after
switching on the ignition.
The start attempt is auto-
matically interrupted if bat-
tery voltage is too low. Recharge
the battery before you start the
engine, or use jump leads and a
donor battery to start.
The engine starts.
Consult the troubleshooting
chart below if the engine re-
fuses to start. ( 136)
Pre-ride check
The instrument panel runs a test
of the 'General' warning light
when the ignition is switched
on: this is the "Pre-Ride-Check"
The warning light shows first red
and then yellow, so that you can
check that it is in working order.
The test is aborted if you start
the engine before it completes.
For initialisation, the exhaust flap
is opened fully once and then
closed again.
Phase 1
General warning light shows
red.
CHECK! appears on the dis-
play.
Phase 2
General warning light shows
yellow.
CHECK! appears on the dis-
play.
If the 'General' warning light does
not show:
Some malfunctions cannot
be indicated if the 'Gener-
al' warning light cannot be dis-
played.
Check that the 'General' warning
light comes on, and that it shows
red and yellow.
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
