BMW S 1000 RR - 2010, Rider'S Manual

Page: 140 / 178

Compliance with the points be-
low is important in order to maxi-
mize battery life:
Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry
Do not open the battery
Do not top up with water
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for charg-
ing the battery on the following
pages
Do not turn the battery upside
down
If the battery is not discon-
nected, the onboard elec-
tronics (clock etc.) will drain the
battery. This can cause the bat-
tery to run flat. If this happens,
warranty claims will not be ac-
cepted.
During periods when the motor-
cycle is not being used, of more
than four weeks, disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle or
connect a trickle charger to the
battery.
BMW Motorrad has devel-
oped a trickle-charger spe-
cially designed for compatibility
with the electronics of your mo-
torcycle. Using this charger, you
can keep the battery charged
during long periods when the
motorcycle is not being used
without having to disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle's
onboard systems. Additional in-
formation is available at your au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Disconnect battery from
