BMW R 1200 GS ADVENTURE Rider's Manual

if the ignition is subsequently
switched off. In order to en-
sure that the drain on the on-
board power supply system is
minimised, the supply to the
power socket is cut off ap-
proximately 15 minutes after
the ignition is switched off,
and it is also temporarily in-
terrupted during the start pro-
cedure.
Cable routing
The cables from the power
socket to the auxiliary device
must be routed in such a way
that they:
do not impede the rider
do not restrict or obstruct
the steering angle and
handling characteristics
cannot be trapped
Incorrectly routed cables
can impede the rider.
Route the cables as
described above.
Luggage
Correct loading
Overloading and imbal-
anced loads can ad-
versely affect the motorcycle's
handling.
Do not exceed the permiss-
ible gross weight and be sure
to comply with the instruc-
tions on loading.
Fitting a luggage system will
affect the handling of your
motorcycle. BMW Motor-
rad recommends limiting top
speed to 180 km/h if you ride
with cases (OA) and/or top-
case (OA) fitted to the motor-
cycle.
Set spring preload, damping
characteristic and tyre pres-
sures to suit total weight.
Make sure that the weight
is uniformly distributed
between right and left.
Pack heavy items at the
bottom and toward the in-
board side.
Max. load in each case
(OA), left and right: 10 kg.
Max. load in topcase (OA):
5 kg.
Aluminium rubbings
It is advisable to stow sensit-
ive items of luggage in a bag,
in order to prevent them from
becoming marked by rubbing
against the aluminium. BMW
Motorrad offers a "watertight
bag" as an optional accessory
for use with aluminium cases
and the aluminium topcase.
You can obtain additional in-
formation from your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
