Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your key, you can
have it barred by your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
If you wish to do this, you will
need to bring all other keys for
the motorcycle with you. The
engine cannot be started by a
barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain emergency/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated security
system, so the dealer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.

The telltale light for the
radio-operated key flashes
while the search for the radio-op-
erated key is in progress.
The telltale light goes out as
soon as the radio-operated key
or the emergency key is found.
The telltale light goes out briefly
if the search times out without
the radio-operated key or the
emergency key being found.
You receive one radio-operated
key and one emergency key.
Please consult the information on
the electronic immobiliser (EWS)
if a key is lost or mislaid ( 45).
Ignition, fuel filler cap and anti-
theft alarm system all work with
the radio-operated key. Seat
lock, topcase and cases can be
locked and unlocked manually.
The vehicle cannot be star-
ted or the central locking
system locked or unlocked if the
radio-operated key is not within
range (e.g. key inside one of the
cases or the topcase).
If the key is taken out of range
the ignition is switched off after
approximately 1.5 minutes, but
the central locking system is not
locked.
It is advisable to keep the radio-
operated key on your person
(e.g. in a jacket pocket) and to
have the emergency key with
you as an alternative.
