BMW F 800 GS -, Rider'S Manual

Range
The range readout indicates how
far you can ride with the fuel re-
maining in the tank. The figure
is calculated from the level of
fuel in the tank and a postulated
average consumption, stored in
memory, that is not always the
same as the average that can be
viewed on the display.
The system cannot tell exactly
how much fuel is on board when
the tank is completely full. Under
these circumstances the display
shows a minimum-range figure
accompanied by a
>
symbol. A
more accurate figure for range is
shown as soon as the fuel level
can be measured exactly.
When refuelling after running on
reserve, make sure that you top
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 neither the
fuel-level reading nor the range
readout can be updated.
The calculated range is only
an approximate reading.
Consequently, BMW Motorrad
recommends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.
Stopwatch
You can switch from the odo-
meter reading to a stopwatch.
The readout is in hours, minutes,
seconds and tenths of a second,
with dots as separators.
If you want to use the stopwatch
as a lap timer, you can operate
it by means of the INFO button
on the handlebar fitting instead
of using button
2 . If you set the
controls so that the stopwatch is
operated by means of the INFO
button, you must use button
2 to
operate the on-board computer.
The stopwatch continues to time
in the background if you switch
