EWS Electronic
immobilizer
The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through
a ring antenna incorporated
in the steering and ignition
lock. The engine management
system does not enable engine
starting until this key has been
recognized as "authorized" for
your motorcycle.
A further key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you lose one of your motorcy-
cle keys, you can have it disabled
by your authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining keys with
you. The engine can no longer
be started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Ignition keys are only available
through an authorized BMW
Motorrad retailer. The keys are
part of an integrated security sys-
tem, so the retailer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
