Catalytic converter
To avoid damage to the cata-
lytic converter:
• Do not run the fuel tank dry
• Push-start only when the
engine is cold
• Do not run the engine with a
spark plug lead detached
• Do not exceed the engine-
speed limits marked on the
tachometer
• Comply with all specified
maintenance intervals
• Stop the engine at once if it is
misfiring
• In the event of misfiring or a
severe drop in engine power,
immediately consult an
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
If misfiring or malfunction of the
fuel-air mixture preparation sys-
tem cause unburned fuel to
reach the catalytic converter,
there is a risk of it overheating
and being damaged.
Important notes
Risk of fire
High temperatures occur at the
exhaust system, particularly if a
catalytic converter is installed.
Make sure that whether riding
or standing still or when the
motorcycle is parked, no
highly flammable material (for
example hay, grass, leaves,
clothing or luggage etc.) can
come into contact with the
hot exhaust system.
Do not allow the engine to
idle unnecessarily or for pro-
longed periods — risk of over-
heating or fire! Ride away
immediately after starting the
engine.
