Engine electronics
General warning light
lights up in yellow.
Engine electronics
symbol is displayed.
Fault in engine electronics.
In exceptional cases, the
engine stops and can no
longer be started. Otherwise,
the engine runs in emergency
operating mode.
You can continue to ride, but
bear in mind that the usual
engine output is not available.
• Have the fault remedied as
quickly as possible by a cer-
tified workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.
Engine oil pressure
General warning light
lights up in red.
Engine oil pressure
symbol is displayed.
Insufficient engine oil pressure.
The warning "engine oil pres-
sure" indicates that there is no
oil pressure or that the oil pres-
sure in the lubricating oil circuit
is too low; under no circum-
stances is the "engine oil pres-
sure" warning light to be
regarded as an indication of the
engine oil level. Once the oil
pressure has built up 1 – 2 sec-
onds after the engine start, the
warning indicator must go out.
If the warning "engine oil
pressure" is displayed while the
motorcycle is being ridden,
take account of the traffic
situation and:
• Disengage the gear.
• Move the kill switch.
• Bring the motorcycle safely
to a halt.
• Check the engine oil level.
In addition to an insuffi-
cient engine oil level, oth-
er problems in the engine can
lead to the warning "engine oil
pressure". Continuing to ride
in these cases can lead to
engine damage.
If the warning "engine oil pres-
sure" is issued, do not contin-
ue to ride even though the en-
gine oil level might be
correct.

• Have the fault remedied by a
certified workshop, prefera-
bly an authorized BMW
motorcycle retailer.
