Installing Battery - BMW S 1000 RR Rider's Manual

Installing battery

If the battery was discon-
nected from the motorcycle
for a prolonged period of time
it will be necessary to enter the
current date in the instrument
panel, in order to ensure that the
service-due indicator functions
correctly.
If you want to have the date set
consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Switch off the ignition.
Insert the battery into the bat-
tery compartment, with the
positive terminal on the right
in the direction of travel.
Slip the battery holder over the
battery and install screw 3.
Connection in the wrong
sequence increases the risk
of short-circuits.
Always proceed in the correct
sequence.
Connect positive lead 2 to the
battery's positive terminal.
Connect negative lead 1 to the
battery's negative terminal.
