In-key security
An electronic component is inte-
grated into each of your keys.
The motorcycle’s electronics
exchange certain continuously
changing signals with the elec-
tronics in the key; these signals
are specific to your motorcycle
and they are transmitted via the
ring antenna in the ignition lock.
The ignition is not enabled for
starting until the key has been
recognised as authorised for
your motorcycle.
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "upset" the electronics, in
which case the enabling signal
for starting is not issued. The
"EWS" warning is displayed in
the multifunction display.
Always store the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.

Replacement and extra
keys
You can only obtain replace-
ment/extra keys through an
authorised BMW motorcycle
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 replacement/
extra keys.
If you want to have a lost key
barred, you have to bring with
you all the keys that belong to
the motorcycle. A key that has
been barred can subsequently
be cleared and reactivated for
use.
