The test is aborted if the engine
is started before it is completed.

The pointer of the tachometer
and speedometer are run up to
the end stop. At the same time,
all warning and indicator lights
are switched on consecutively:
Phase 2
The general warning light
changes from yellow to red.
Phase 3
The pointers of the tachometer
and speedometer are run back.
At the same time, all switched-on
warning and indicator lights are
switched off consecutively in the
reverse order.
If a pointer has not been moved,
or if one of the specified warning
and indicator lights has not been
switched on:
If it was not possible to
switch on the warning
lights, possible malfunctions
cannot be indicated.
Watch all warning and indicator
lights on the display.
Have the malfunction corrected

cialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
