Maintenance instructions
Correct upkeep, recharging and
storage will prolong the life of
the battery and are essential if
warranty claims are to be con-
sidered.
Compliance with the points
below is important in order to
maximise battery life:
Keep the surface of the bat-
tery clean and dry.
Do not open the battery.
Do not top up with water.
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for char-
ging the battery on the fol-
lowing pages.
Do not turn the battery upside
down.
ATTENTION
On-board electronics (e.g.
clock) draining connected
battery
Battery is deep-discharged;
this voids the guarantee
Connect a float charger to
the battery if the motorcycle
is to remain out of use for
more than four weeks.
BMW Motorrad has de-
veloped a float charger
specially designed for com-
patibility with the electronics
of your motorcycle. Using this
charger, you can keep the bat-
tery charged during long peri-
ods of disuse, without having
to disconnect the battery from
the motorcycle's on-board sys-
tems. You can obtain additional
information from your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.

happens.
