(kill switch)
Operating the emergency
ON/OFF switch when riding
can cause the rear wheel to lock
and thus cause a fall.
Do not operate the emergency
ON/OFF switch when riding.
The engine can be switched
off easily and quickly using the
emergency on/off switch.

Headlight
Headlamp range and
spring preload
The headlamp range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state.
Spring preload adjustment may
only be insufficient when the mo-
torcycle is very heavily loaded.
In this case, the headlamp range
must be adjusted to the weight.
If there are questions
whether the headlight
range is correct, consult a
specialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.

A swiveling lever is used for
