Maintenance instructions
Correct battery maintenance
combined with proper charging
and storage procedures extends
the battery's service life, and is
also required for warranty claims.
Compliance with the points be-
low is important in order to maxi-
mize battery life:
Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry.
Do not open the battery.
Do not top up with water.
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for charg-
ing the battery on the following
pages.
Do not turn the battery upside
down.
If the battery is not discon-
nected, the motorcycle's
electronics (clock etc.) will drain
the battery. This can result in
a battery discharge. If this hap-
pens, warranty claims will not be
accepted.
During driving breaks of more
than 4 weeks, a trickle-charger
should be connected to the
battery.
BMW Motorrad has devel-
oped a trickle-charger spe-
cially designed for compatibility
with the electronics of your mo-
torcycle. Using this charger, you
can keep the battery charged
during long periods when the
motorcycle is not being used
without having to disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle's
onboard systems. Additional in-
formation is available at your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Charge connected battery
Charging the connected
battery directly at the bat-
tery terminals can damage the
motorcycle electronics.
To charge the battery via the
battery terminals, disconnect the
battery first.
If the multifunction display
and indicator lamps fail to
light up when you switch on the
ignition, the battery is completely
discharged (battery voltage be-
low 9 V). Attempts to recharge
a completely discharged bat-
tery through the onboard power
socket or additional onboard
socket can damage the motor-
cycle's electronic systems.
Always charge a completely
drained battery directly at the
terminals of the disconnected
battery.
