BMW Motorrad S 1000R 2017, Rider'S Manual

Page: 40 / 226

WARNING
Irregular engine operation or
engine shutdown due to lack
of fuel
Risk of accident, damage to cata-
lytic converter
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
Possible cause:
The fuel tank contains no more
than the reserve quantity of fuel.
Fuel reserve
approx. 4 l
Refuelling ( 88).
Range
The range readout 1 indicates
how far you can ride with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This dis-
tance is calculated on the basis
of fuel level and average con-
sumption.
After a refuelling stop, the dis-
tance counter for reserve fuel is
reset if the amount of fuel in the
tank is greater than the reserve
quantity.
When the motorcycle is propped
on its side stand the slight angle
of inclination means that the
sensor cannot register the fuel
level correctly. This is the reason
why the range is calculated only
when the side stand is in the re-
tracted position.
NOTICE
The calculated range is only
an approximate figure. Con-
sequently, BMW Motorrad re-
commends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.
