Page: 38 / 205

WARNING
Failure of various motorcy-
cle systems, such as lighting,
engine or ABS, due to a dis-
charged battery.
Accident hazard
Do not continue riding.
The battery is not being charged.
If you continue driving, the vehi-
cle electronics will discharge the
battery.
Possible cause:
Alternator or alternator drive de-
fective.
Have the malfunction corrected
as soon as possible at an au-
thorized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
Onboard system voltage
low
The split battery symbol
appears on the display.
Generator power is only just suf-
ficient to supply all consumers
and charge the battery.
Possible cause:
Too many consumers switched
on. On-board system voltage
tends to drop particularly at low
engine rpm and when the engine
is idling.
When riding at low engine rpm
switch off consumers that are
not necessary for road safety
(e.g. heated body warmer or
auxiliary headlights).
Onboard system voltage
critical
General warning light shows
yellow.
The split battery symbol
appears on the display.
Generator power is no longer
sufficient to supply all consumers
and charge the battery. In order
to ensure that the engine can
be started and the motorcycle
ridden, the onboard electronics
switch off the electricity supply
to the onboard sockets and the
auxiliary headlights. In extreme
cases the seat heating and the
grip heating might also be shut
down.
Possible cause:
Too many consumers switched
on. On-board system voltage
tends to drop particularly at low
engine rpm and when the engine
is idling.
When riding at low engine rpm
switch off consumers that are
not necessary for road safety
(e.g. heated body warmer or
auxiliary headlights).
