key has been recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.
An additional radio-op-
erated key attached to
the same ring as the radio-op-
erated key used to start the
engine could "irritate" the elec-
tronics, in which case the en-
abling signal for the engine
start is not issued.
Always keep the radio-oper-
ated keys separate from each
other.
If you lose a radio-operated
key, you can have it disabled by
your authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer. For this purpose, you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining ignition
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.
Ignition keys can only be
obtained from an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. As the
radio-operated keys are part of
an integrated safety system, the
retailer is under an obligation
to check your legitimacy.

If you lose your keys, refer
to the notes regarding the
electronic immobilizer ( EWS ).
Should you loose the radio-
operated key while riding, the
motorcycle can be started by

If the battery of the key fob
transmitter is empty, the vehi-
cle can be started by touching
the rear wheel cover with the
key fob transmitter.
Hold the spare key 1 or the
empty key remote 2 against
the rear wheel cover at the
height of the antenna 3 .
The spare key or dead ra-
dio-operated key must be
touching the rear wheel cover.
