Engine electronics
General warning light
lights up yellow.
Engine electronics sym-
bol is displayed.
Fault in the engine electronics.
In exceptional cases, the
engine stops and refuses to
start. Otherwise, the engine
runs in emergency operating
mode.
You can continue to ride, but
bear in mind that the usual
engine power is not available.
• Have the fault rectified as
quickly as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer.
Engine oil pressure
General warning light
lights up red.
Engine oil pressure sym-
bol is displayed.
Insufficient engine oil pressure
The "engine oil pressure"
warning indicates that there is
no oil pressure or that the oil
pressure in the lubricating oil
circuit is too low; under no cir-
cumstances is it to be
regarded as fulfilling the func-
tion of an oil gauge. The warn-
ing must disappear when oil
pressure builds up 1 to 2 sec-
onds after the engine starts.
If the "engine oil pressure"
warning is displayed while the
motorcycle is being ridden,
take account of the traffic
situation and:
• Disengage the gear.
• Press the kill switch.
• Bring the motorcycle safely
to a halt.
• Check the engine oil level.
There are other engine-
related problems besides
a low engine-oil level that can
trigger the "engine-oil pres-
sure" warning. Continuing to
ride under these circumstanc-
es can result in engine
damage.
If the "engine oil pressure"
warning is issued, do not con-
tinue to ride if a check shows
that the engine oil level is
correct.c
• Have the fault rectified by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.
