Oil Level Indicator; Range - BMW R 1200 GS Rider's Manual

Range

The functional description of the
operating range ( 50) also
applies to the range 1. Howev-
er, the range can also be dis-
played before the fuel reserve is
reached.
To calculate the range, a special
average consumption is used,
which does not always match the
value that can be shown on the
display.
If the motorcycle is standing on
the side stand, the fuel level can-
not be correctly determined due
to the inclined position. For this
reason the range is only calculat-
ed while driving.
The determined range is an
approximate reading. BMW
Motorrad therefore recommends
that you do not try to use the full
range before refueling.

Oil level indicator

The oil level indicator 1 provides
information on the oil level in the
engine. It can only be displayed
when the motorcycle is stopped.
The conditions for the oil level
indicator are as follows:
Engine at operating tempera-
ture.
Engine idling for at least ten
seconds.
Side-stand retracted.
Motorcycle is vertical.
The readings mean:
OK
: Oil level correct.
CHECK
: Check oil level during
next refueling stop.
---
: No measurement possible
(above-mentioned conditions not
met).
If other information of the
onboard computer is dis-
played, this symbol continues to
be shown until the oil level is de-
tected as correct again.
The most recently measured lev-
el is displayed for five seconds
when you next switch on the ig-
nition.
