Electronic immobilizer

The motorcycle's electronic cir-
cuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through a ring
antenna incorporated in the igni-
tion lock. The engine manage-
ment system does not enable
engine starting until this key is
recognized as "authorized" for
your motorcycle.
NOTICE
A further key attached to the
same ring as the ignition key
used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in
which case the enabling signal
for starting is not issued. The
EWS
warning is shown in the
multifunction display.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you lose a vehicle key, you can
have it disabled by your autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining keys with
you.
The engine can no longer be
started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Ignition keys are available
only through an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. The
keys are part of an integrated
security system, so the retailer is
under an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys.
