Requirement
For optimum fuel consumption,
fuel should be sulphur-free or
as low-sulphur as possible.
ATTENTION
Engine operation with
leaded fuel
Damage to catalytic converter
Do not attempt to run the
vehicle on leaded fuel or fuel
with metallic additives (e.g.
manganese or iron).
Fuels with a maximum eth-
anol content of 15%, that is

visable to use fuel additives
when the engine is operated
with low-grade fuel or if the
vehicle is to be out of use for
a lengthy period of time. More
information is available from
your authorised BMW Motorrad
retailer.
