Checklist; Catalytic Converter - BMW C 650 GT Rider's Manual

Inhaling the exhaust fumes
therefore represents a
health hazard and can even
cause loss of consciousness with
fatal consequences.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space.
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 Maxi-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 Maxi-
Scooter's settings (e.g.
electronic engine management
unit, throttle valves, clutch) can
cause damages to the compon-
ents in question and lead to fail-
ure of safety-relevant functions.
Damage 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.
