switch on the ignition. The mo-
torcycle has to move forward a
few metres for the wheel sensors
to be tested.
Phase 1

ible system components with
the vehicle at a standstill.

Phase 2
Test of the wheel sensors as
the vehicle pulls away from
rest.

gnosis completes:
You can continue to ride. Bear

Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

Running in

Engine
Until the first maintenance
inspection, vary the throttle
opening and engine-speed
range frequently; avoid riding
at constant engine rpm for pro-
longed periods.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing high-speed main roads and
highways if possible.
Comply with the rpm limits for

running in.
