Intro

Any attempt to move the motor-
cycle, change its position, start
it without your permission, or
disconnect the battery will trig-
ger the alarm. The sensitivity of
the system is set in such a way
that slight vibrations of the
motorcycle will not trigger a
false alarm.
Once you have activated the
alarm, any attempted theft is
indicated acoustically by the
siren and visually by all four turn
indicators flashing at the same
time, and the electronic immo-
biliser suppresses engine start.
Your anti-theft alarm is com-
bined with a central locking sys-
tem that enables you to open
and close the cases, the top-
case, and the radio compart-
ment by remote control.
It also enables you to switch on
the map-reading light and the
ground lights automatically.
You can customise the anti-theft
alarm in certain ways to suit your
needs and preferences.
LNote:
In order to protect the motorcy-
cle’s battery and ensure that
the engine can be started, the
alarm system deactivates itself
automatically a certain number
of days after being activated, al-
though it always remains active
for at least 7 days.

Code card
The anti-theft alarm is supplied
complete with a sealed enve-
lope containing a code card 1.
The number stated on the code
card (remove the adhesive
label) is the code for deactivat-
ing the anti-theft alarm by
means of the ignition (b16).
The code number is stamped in
encrypted form on the anti-theft
alarm and it is also printed on an
adhesive label 2supplied with
the anti-theft alarm. You should
affix the label at a concealed
location on the motorcycle.
If you forget the code and are
unable to find the code card, an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer will be able to forward the
encrypted number to BMW on
your behalf and obtain the cor-
rect code.

Emergency unlocking
If the compartments were
locked by the central locking
system and, for some reason,
the remote control unit is not to
hand, you can use the emer-
gency unlocking routine to
open them. Emergency unlock-
ing is independent of the cur-
rent status of the lock barrel.
1Insert the ignition key into
the lock you want to open
2Turn the key to the 45°
position
3You can now press in the
lock barrel with the key in
order to open the lock. Note
that the key cannot be
removed from the lock bar-
rel in this position.
4You must turn the barrel to
the unlocked position or the
locked position in order to
remove the key. The lock
remains locked.

Safety shutdown
Overly frequent locking and
unlocking within a short period
of time could cause the motors
of the central locking system to
become very warm. An override
function can cut in and interrupt
operation in order to avoid
damage to the motors: these
interruptions can last for a max-
imum of 30 seconds.

Reasons for an alarm
Reasons for an alarm
Once you have deactivated the
alarm function, the LED shows
you reasons for alarms, if any,
that were triggered in your
absence:
• Flash 1x:
Motion sensor
• Flash 2x:
Ignition on while the anti-theft
alarm was primed
• Flash 3x:
Anti-theft alarm disconnected
from motorcycle battery
The LED ceases to output this
signal after 1 minute, or as soon
as you switch on the ignition.
If more than one alarm was trig-
gered, the flashing codes indi-
cate all the reasons.

You can also check the system
at some subsequent time in
order to ascertain the reason
why the most recent alarm was
triggered. In order to do so, you
must first identify yourself by
means of your code number.
If the code number you entered
is correct, two acknowledge-
ment tones sound to indicate
that identification is completed.
If you now switch off the igni-
tion, the LED will flash to indi-
cate once the reason for the
most recent alarm, if any.
