full left or right lock position.

Protection against theft
The electronic immobiliser
helps protect your BMW Mo-
torrad motorcycle from theft,
and this enhanced security is
at your disposal without any
need for you to set paramet-
ers or activate additional sys-
tems. The engine of a motor-
cycle fitted with this electronic
immobiliser can be started
only with the keys that belong
to the vehicle. You can also
have your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer bar individual
keys, for example if a partic-
ular key goes missing. The
engine cannot be started with
a key that has been barred.
