Electronic immobiliser
EWS
The on-board electronics access
the data saved in the vehicle key
via a ring aerial in the ignition
lock / R/C ignition lock. The ig-
nition is not enabled for starting
until the engine control unit has
recognised the ignition key as
"authorised" for your motorcycle.
NOTICE
A spare ignition key attached to
the same ring as the ignition key/
radio-operated key used to start
the engine can "confuse" the
electronics, in which case the
enabling signal for starting is not
issued.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arate from the ignition key/radio-
operated key.

If you lose your key, you
can have it barred by your
BMW Motorrad authorised
dealer. In order to have a key
barred you must bring along all
the other keys belonging to the
motorcycle.
The engine cannot be started
by a barred ignition key, but an
ignition key that has been barred
can subsequently be reactivated.
You can obtain emergency/ex-
tra keys only through an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer. The
ignition keys are part of an in-
tegrated security system, so the
dealer is under an obligation to
check the legitimacy of all applic-
ations for replacement/extra keys.
