The motorcycle's electronic cir-
52
cuitry monitors the data stored in
the radio-operated key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
radio lock. The engine manage-

engine starting until the radio-op-
erated key has been recognized
as "authorized" for your motorcy-
cle.

NOTICE
A further key attached to the
same ring as the radio-oper-
ated key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
warning with the key symbol ap-
pears in the multifunction display.
Always keep the other vehicle
key separate from the radio-oper-
ated key.
If you lose a radio-operated key,
you can have it disabled by your
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer. When having a key dis-
abled you should also bring all of
the motorcycle's remaining keys
with you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled radio-
operated key; however, a dis-
abled radio-operated key can be
enabled again.
Emergency and spare keys are
only available through an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer. As
the radio-operated keys are part
of an integrated security system,
the retailer is under an obligation
to check your legitimacy.
