Electronic immobiliser

The electronic immobiliser
helps protect your BMW
motorcycle from theft, and this
enhanced security is at your
disposal without any need for
you to set parameters or acti-
vate additional systems. The
engine of a motorcycle fitted
with this electronic immobiliser
can only be started with the
keys that belong to the vehi-
cle. You can also have your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer bar individual keys, for
example if a particular key
goes missing. The engine can-
not be started with a key that
has been barred.
