used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in which
case the enabling signal for
starting is not issued.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your key, you can
have it barred by your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
If you wish to do this, you will
need to bring all other keys for
the motorcycle with you. The
engine cannot be started by a
barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain emergency/extra
keys only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The keys
are part of an integrated security
system, so the dealer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.

NOTICE
The telltale light for the radio-
operated key flashes while the
search for the radio-operated key
is in progress.
The telltale light goes out as
soon as the radio-operated key
or the emergency key is found.
The telltale light goes out briefly
if the search times out without
the radio-operated key or the
emergency key being found.
You receive one radio-operated
key and one emergency key.
Please consult the information on
the electronic immobiliser (EWS)
if a key is lost or mislaid (
65).
Ignition, fuel filler cap and anti-
theft alarm system all work with
the radio-operated key. Seat
lock, topcase and cases can be
locked and unlocked manually.
NOTICE
The vehicle cannot be started if
the radio control key is not within
range (e.g. key inside one of the
cases or the topcase).
If the radio-operated key re-
mains out of range the ignition
is switched off after about 1.5
minutes to protect the battery.
It is advisable to keep the radio-
operated key closely on your per-
son (e.g. in a jacket pocket) and
to have the emergency key with
you as an alternative.
