Battery adapter points
BMW calls an easily accessible
battery positive terminal 1 and a
defined grounding point 2 the
battery adapter points.
The battery adapter points
make it easy to recharge the
battery and are also convenient
for jump starting.
Never establish a direct con-
nection between battery posi-
tive terminal 1 and earth (frame/
drive).
– Risk of short-circuit

Jump starting
Do not use proprietary start-
assist sprays to start the
engine.
Use only jump leads fitted with
fully insulated crocodile clips at
both ends for jump starting.
If you switch on the ignition and
the indicator lights fail to light
up, the battery is completely
flat. In this case, do not attempt
to jump-start the motorcycle:
recharge the battery instead.
Risk of damaging the control
units.
