Engine electronics
General warning light
lights up yellow.
Engine electronics sym-
bol is displayed.
The engine is running
in emergency operating
mode. Engine power may be
reduced, and this can cause
hazardous situations, particu-
larly if you attempt to overtake
other road users.
Adapt your style of riding to
the reduced level of engine
power.
The engine-electronics con-
trol unit has diagnosed a fault.
In exceptional cases, the en-
gine stops and can no longer
be started. Otherwise, the
engine runs in emergency op-
erating mode.
Continued driving is pos-
sible, however the accus-
tomed engine performance
may not be available.
Have the fault rectified as
soon as possible by a spe-
cialized workshop, prefer-
ably an authorized BMW
motorcycle retailer.
Engine oil pressure insuffi-
cient
General warning light
lights up red.
Engine oil pressure sym-
bol is displayed.
The oil pressure in the lubri-
cating oil circuit is too low.
The warning on insuffi-
cient engine oil pressure
is no substitute for the func-
tion of an oil-level indicator.
The correct engine oil level
can only be checked at the oil
sight glass.
The cause of the warning on
insufficient engine oil pres-
sure can be an insufficient
engine oil level.
Checking engine oil level
( 91)
Topping up engine oil
( 92)
If the warning on insufficient
engine oil pressure appears
despite a correct engine oil
level:
In addition to an insuf-
ficient engine oil level,
other problems in the engine
can lead to the warning on in-
sufficient engine oil pressure.
Continuing to ride in these
cases can cause engine dam-
age.
If this warning appears, do
not continue to ride even
though the engine oil level
might be correct.
