Locking handlebars
ATTENTION
Incorrect steering angle
when the motorcycle is
parked on the side stands.
Component damage cause by
tipping over.
On level ground, always turn
the handlebars to the left to set
the steering lock.
Otherwise the angle of the
ground determines whether
the handlebars are set to the
left or right.
Turn handlebars to full left or
right lock position.
Turn key to position 1 while
moving handlebars slightly.
Ignition, lights and all electrical
circuits switched off.
Handlebars locked.
Key can now be removed.
EWS Electronic
immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through
a ring antenna incorporated
in the steering and ignition
lock. The engine management
system does not enable engine
starting until this key has been
recognized as "authorized" for
your motorcycle.
NOTICE
A further key attached to the
same ring as the ignition key
used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in
which case the enabling signal
for starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you lose one of your motorcy-
cle keys, you can have it disabled
by your authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining keys with
you. The engine can no longer
be started using a disabled key;
