The start attempt is auto-
matically interrupted if bat-
tery voltage is too low. Recharge
the battery before you start the
engine, or use jump leads and a
donor battery to start.
See the subsection on jump
starting in "Maintenance" for
more details.
The engine starts.
If the engine refuses to start,
consult the troubleshooting
chart in the section entitled
"Technical data". (
Pre-ride check
The instrument panel runs a test
of the instruments and the telltale
and warning lights when the ig-
nition is switched on: this is the
so-called "Pre-Ride-Check". The
test is aborted if you start the en-
gine before it completes.
Phase 1
The rev. counter and speedo-
meter needles both swing to
the limit values on their scales.
At the same time, all the warn-
ing lights and telltale lights are
switched on in succession.
Phase 2
The 'General' warning light
changes from yellow to red.
Phase 3
The rev. counter and speedo-
122)
meter needles both swing to
the starting position on their
scales. At the same time, all the
warning lights and telltale lights
switched on in the initial phase
are switched off in reverse se-
quence.
If a needle did not move or if a
warning light or telltale light did
not show:
Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
ABS self-diagnosis
BMW Motorrad ABS performs
self-diagnosis to ensure its op-
erability. Self-diagnosis is per-
formed automatically when you
switch on the ignition. The mo-
torcycle has to move forward a
few metres for the wheel-speed
sensors to be tested.
Phase 1
Test of the diagnosable system
components with the vehicle at a
standstill.
ABS warning light flashes.
Phase 2
Test of the wheel-speed sensors
as the vehicle pulls away from
rest.
