Checklist - BMW C 650 GT Rider's Manual

Risk of burn injury
Engine and exhaust system
become very hot when the
vehicle is in use. There is a risk
of burn injuries by contact with
hot surfaces, particularly at the
silencer.
When you park the Scooter
make sure that no-one comes
into contact with the engine and
exhaust system.
Catalytic converter
If misfiring causes unburned fuel
to enter the catalytic converter,
there is a danger of overheating
and damage.
For this reason, observe the fol-
lowing points:
Do not run the fuel tank dry.
Do not attempt to start or run
the engine with a spark-plug
cap disconnected.
Stop the engine immediately if
it misfires.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Comply with all specified main-
tenance intervals.
Unburned fuel will destroy
the catalytic converter.
Note the points listed for protec-
tion of the catalytic converter.
Risk of overheating
Cooling would be
inadequate if the engine
were allowed to idle for a lengthy
period with the motorcycle at
a standstill: overheating would
result. In extreme cases, the
motorcycle could catch fire.
Do not allow the engine to idle
unnecessarily. Ride away imme-
diately after starting the engine.
Tampering
Tampering with the Scoot-
er's settings (e.g. elec-
tronic engine management unit,
throttle valves, clutch) can cause

damages to the components in
question and lead to failure of
safety-relevant functions. Dam-
age caused in this way is not
covered by the warranty.
Do not tamper with the vehicle
in any way that could result in
tuned performance.
