EWS
The electronic design of the
motorbike allows it to access
data stored in the ignition key
by means of a ring antenna loc-
ated in the ignition switch/steer-
ing lock. The engine control unit
will not permit the engine to be
started unless the key is identi-
fied as "authorised".
A spare key attached to
the same ring as the ig-
nition key used to start the en-
gine could "irritate" the electron-
ics, in which case the enabling
signal for starting is not issued.
EWS
The warning appears in the
multifunction display.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose your key, you can
have it barred by your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
If you wish to do this, you will
need to bring all other keys for
the motorbike with you. The
engine cannot be started by a
barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently be
reactivated.
You can obtain extra keys only
through an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer. The keys are
part of an integrated security sys-
tem, so the dealer is under an
obligation to check the legitimacy
of all applications for replace-
ment/extra keys.
