Emergency-Off Switch (Kill Switch) - BMW S 1000 RR 2021 Rider's Manual

Electronic immobiliser (EWS)
The on-board electronics ac-
cess the data saved in the ig-
nition key via a ring aerial in
the ignition lock. The engine
control unit will not permit the
engine to be started unless the
key is identified as "authorised".
A second ignition key at-
tached 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.
Always keep the ignition keys
separate from each other.
If you lose an ignition key, you
can have it barred by your au-
thorised BMW Motorrad re-
tailer.
If you wish to do this, you will
need to bring all other keys for
the motorcycle with you. The
engine cannot be started by a
barred key, but a key that has
been barred can subsequently
be reactivated.
You can obtain spare keys
only through an authorised
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.
