up the tank to a level above re-
serve, as otherwise the sensor
will not be able to register the
new level. If the sensor cannot
register the new level the range
readout cannot be updated.
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.
The calculated range is only
an approximate reading.
Consequently, BMW Motorrad
recommends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.

The figure for average consump-

display.
Ambient temperature

When the motorcycle is at a
standstill the heat of the engine
can falsify the ambient-tempera-

If ambient temperature
drops below 3 °C the tem-

your attention to the risk of black
ice forming. The display auto-

mode to the temperature read-
ing when the temperature drops
below this threshold for the first
time.

The tyre-pressure readings are
based on a reference tyre tem-
