The motorcycle's electronic cir-
cuitry monitors the data stored in
the radio-operated key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
radio lock. The engine manage-
ment system does not enable
engine starting until the radio-op-
erated key has been recognized
as "authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.
NOTICE
A further key attached to the
same ring as the ignition key
used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in which
case the enabling signal for start-
ing is not issued. The warning
is displayed in the multifunction
display with the key symbol.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you lose a radio-operated key,
you can have it disabled by your
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer. When having a key dis-
abled you should also bring all of
the motorcycle's remaining keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled radio-
operated key; however, a dis-
abled radio-operated key can be
enabled again.
Emergency and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer. As
the radio-operated keys are part
of an integrated security system,
the retailer is under an obligation
to check your legitimacy. Battery of the key fob
transmitter is empty or
the key fob transmitter is
lost

NOTICE
The antenna is located in front
of the tank filler cap or under the
tank cover.
Should you lose your keys, re-
fer to the information regard-
ing the electronic immobilizer
(EWS).
Should you lose the radio-op-
erated key during a trip, the
vehicle can be started using
the emergency key.
If the battery of the key fob
transmitter is flat, the vehicle
can be started by touching
the tank cover with the key fob
transmitter.
