The electronic design of the
motorcycle allows it to access
data stored in the ignition key
by means of a ring antenna loc-
ated in the ignition switch/steer-
ing lock. The engine control unit
will not permit the engine to be
started unless the key is identi-
fied as "authorised".
NOTICE
A spare key attached to the
same ring as the ignition key
used to start the engine could
OE
"irritate" the electronics, in
which case the enabling signal
for starting is not issued. The
warning is displayed on the
multifunction display with the key
OE
symbol.
Always keep the spare key sep-
arately from the ignition key.
If you lose a key, you can have
it barred by your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
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 extra keys
only through an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The
keys are part of an integrated
security system, so the dealer is
under an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys.
