Catalytic converter
To avoid damage to the cata-
lytic converter:
• Do not run the fuel tank dry
• Push-start only when the
engine is cold
• Do not run the engine with a
spark plug lead disconnected
• Do not exceed the engine-
speed limits marked on the
tachometer
• Comply with all specified
maintenance intervals
• Stop the engine at once if it is
misfiring
• In the event of misfiring or a
severe drop in engine power,
consult a specialized work-
shop, preferably an autho-
rized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
Important notes
If misfiring or malfunction of the
fuel-air mixture preparation sys-
tem causes unburned fuel to
reach the catalytic converter,
there is a risk of it overheating
and being damaged.
