Electronic immobiliser EWS
The on-board electronics ac-
cess the data saved in the ra-
dio-operated key via a ring aer-
ial in the R/C ignition lock. The
ignition is not enabled for start-
ing until the engine control unit
has recognised the radio-op-
erated key as "authorised" for
your motorcycle.
A second radio-operated
key attached to the same
ring as the radio-operated key
used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in
which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting 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 barred by
your authorised BMW Motorrad
retailer. 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 radio-operated
key, but a radio-operated key
that has been barred can sub-
sequently be reactivated.
You can obtain extra keys
only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad retailer. The
radio-operated keys are part
of an integrated security
system, so the retailer is under
an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys.
Loss of the radio-operated
key
Consult the information
on the electronic immob-
iliser (EWS) if a key is lost or
mislaid.
If the radio-operated key is lost
or mislaid while you are on a
journey, you can use the spare
key to start the vehicle.
