Range; Electronic Oil-Level Check - BMW Motorrad R 1250RT Rider's Manual

the service-due date 1 appears
on the display.
If the vehicle covers long dis-
tances in the course of the year,
under certain circumstances it
might be necessary to have it
serviced at a date in advance
of the forecast due date. If the
countdown distance to the early
service is less than 1000 km, the
countdown distance 2 appears
on the display.
NOTICE
If the service-due indicator ap-
pears more than a month before
the service date, the current date
has to be corrected. This situ-
ation can occur if the battery was
disconnected.

Range

The range readout indic-
ates how far you can ride
with the fuel remaining in the
tank. The figure for average con-
sumption used to calculate range
is not shown and might not be
the same as the average-con-
sumption reading that appears on
the display.
You must put at least five litres of
fuel into the fuel tank for the new
level to be registered correctly.
If the sensor cannot register the
new level the range readout can-
not be updated.
When the motorcycle is propped
on its side stand the slight angle
of inclination means that the
sensor cannot register the fuel
level correctly. This is the reason
why the range is calculated only
when the side stand is in the re-
tracted position.
NOTICE
The calculated range is only
an approximate figure. Con-
sequently, BMW Motorrad re-
commends that you should not
try to use the full range before
refuelling.
Electronic oil-level
check
The electronic oil-level
check provides information
about the oil level in the engine.
