BMW HP2 ENDURO, Manual

Page: 67 / 139

Slowly lean the motorcycle
to the side until its weight
is taken by the stand and
dismount to the left.
If the motorcycle is on
the side stand, the sur-
face of the ground will de-
termine whether it is better
to turn the handlebars to the
left or right. However, the mo-
torcycle is more stable on a
level surface with the handle-
bars turned to the left than
with the handlebars turned to
the right.
On level ground, always turn
the handlebars to the left to
set the steering lock.
Turn the handlebars to full
left or right lock.
Check that the motorcycle
is standing firmly.
On a gradient, the mo-
torcycle should always
face uphill; select 1st gear.
Removing motorcycle
from side stand
Unlock the steering lock.
Switch on the ignition.
From the left, grip the
handlebars with both hands.
Pull the handbrake lever.
Swing your right leg over
the seat and lift the motor-
cycle to the upright position.
Hold the motorcycle upright
and balanced.
An extended side stand
can catch on the ground
when the motorcycle is mov-
ing and lead to a fall.
Retract the side stand before
moving the motorcycle.
Sit on the motorcycle and
use your left foot to retract
the side stand.
Refuelling
Fuel level
The fuel tank is made of semi-
transparent material, so the
level of fuel in the tank is vis-
ible. If you look back from
the direction of the telescopic
forks, you can quickly check
how much fuel is in the tank.
The 5-litre level
1 and an 11-
litre level 2 are marked on the
fuel tank.
