You can pull off the ignition
key.

Electronic immobiliser
(EWS)
The on-board electronics access
the data saved in the ignition
key via a ring aerial in the igni-
tion lock. The engine control unit
will not permit the engine to be
started unless the key is identi-
fied as “authorised”.
NOTICE
A spare 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
warning is displayed on the
multifunction display with the key
symbol.
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 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
replacement/extra keys.
