Overviewwith anti-theft alarm OE

General information onDWAAny attempt to move the motor-cycle, change its position, start itwithout authorization or discon-nect the motorcycle battery, re-sults in the alarm being triggered.The sensitivity of the system isdesigned so that minor vibrationsof the motorcycle do not triggeran alarm. Each theft attempt issignaled following activation ofthe system acoustically with thesiren and optically with synchro-nized flashing of all 4 turn indica-tors.You can adjust the behavior ofyour DWA in partial areas tomeet your needs.

Protection of motorcyclebatteryTo protect the motorcycle bat-tery and to maintain the start-ing capability, the activated DWAswitches off automatically afterseveral days. However, it remainsactive for at least 10 days.

Radio interferenceRadio systems or devices whichtransmit on the same frequencyas the remote control of theDWA can interfere with its func-tion. With corresponding prob-lems point the remote control atthe motorcycle from a differentdirection.

The alarm function will be acti-vated

by pressing the button 1 of theremote control once orby switching off the ignition (ifprogrammed); after the ignitionis switched off, 30 secondspass until the activation phase

Activation is confirmedby the turn indicators lightingup twice andwith a double alarm tone.

If the alarm function is to be acti-vated after the ignition has beenswitched off for more than oneminute, then the button 1 mustbe pressed for longer than onesecond.

Activation phaseThe anti-theft alarm system re-quires 15 seconds until it is com-pletely activated. No alarm trig-gering takes place during thistime.

Protection of the battery

After approx. one hour in thedeactivated state, the DWAswitches off to protect thebattery. To activate the alarmfunction after this period, theignition must be switched on andthen off again.

Motion sensor whentransporting Maxi-ScooterIf, for example, the Maxi-Scooteris to be transported by train, it isadvisable to switch off the motionsensor. The strong movements

remote control and the ignitionthen not switched on, the alarm

function is automatically reacti-vated after 30 seconds if "Acti-vation after ignition off" has beenprogrammed.

Turn indicators light up once.Alarm tone sounds once (ifprogrammed).Alarm function is deactivated.

Protection of the batteryAfter approx. one hour in theactivated state, the receiverfor the remote control in theDWA switches off to protect thebattery. The ignition must beswitched on to deactivate thealarm function after this period.

Note the points listed for protec-tion of the catalytic converter.

Danger of overheating

Cooling would be inade-quate if the engine were al-

lowed to idle for a lengthy periodwith the motorcycle at a stand-still: overheating would result. Inextreme cases, the motorcyclecould catch fire.Do not allow the engine to idleunnecessarily. After starting, rideoff immediately.

Modifications

Modifications of the Maxi-Scooter (e.g. engine man-

agement system, throttle valves,clutch) can cause damage to theaffected components and fail-ure of safety-related functions.Damage caused in this way isnot covered by the warranty.Do not make any modifications.

RidingAt engine speeds below thestarting speed of approx.2,000 rpm, the centrifugal clutchopens and the Maxi-Scooteris idling. It the engine speed isincreased above the starting

speed, the clutch closes and theMaxi-Scooter starts off.

In the range from approx.31 mph (50 km/h) to approx.68 mph (110 km/h), the engineoperates at a constant speedin the range of the maximumtorque. The change in the speedis achieved by adjusting the gearratio in the steplessly adjustabletransmission. This only slightlychanges the engine noise in thisspeed range.Initial speeds above approx.110 km/h are achieved byincreasing the engine speed.

ing

twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-ing highways if possible.Have the first inspection carriedout after 300 - 750 mls (500 -1,200 km).

Brake padsNew brake pads must be run inbefore they achieve their opti-mum friction force. This initialreduction in braking efficiencycan be compensated for by ex-erting greater pressure on thebrake levers.

New brake pads can extendstopping distance by a sig-

nificant margin.Brake early.

TiresNew tires have a smooth sur-face. This must be roughened byriding in a restrained manner atvarious heel angles until the tiresare run in. This running in proce-

dure is essential if the tires are toachieve maximum grip.

New tires do not providefull tire traction. Accident

hazards exist in particular on wetroads and at extreme angles.Always think well ahead andavoid extreme angles.

BrakesHow do you achievethe shortest stoppingdistances?During braking the load distri-bution changes dynamically be-tween the front and the rearwheel. The heavier you brake,the greater the weight transferto the front wheel. Increases inthe load on an individual wheelare accompanied by a rise in theeffective braking force that thewheel can provide.To achieve the shortest possi-ble braking distance, the front

brake must be applied quicklyand with progressively greaterlevels of force. This procedureprovides ideal exploitation ofthe extra weight transfer to thefront wheel. With the frequentlyinstructed "forced braking," inwhich the brake pressure is gen-erated as quickly as possible andwith great force, dynamic loaddistribution lags behind the pro-gressive increases in decelerationrate and the braking force cannotbe completely transferred to theroad surface. The front wheelcan lock up.

Locking up of the front wheel isprevented by the BMW MotorradABS.

Descending mountainpasses

There is a danger of thebrakes fading if you use

only the rear brakes whendescending mountain passes.Under extreme conditions, thebrakes could overheat and suffersevere damage.Use both front and rear brakes,and make use of the engine'sbraking effect as well.

Wet, soiled brakesMoisture and dirt on the brakedisks and the brake pads result ina decrease in the braking action.Delayed or poorer braking actionmust be expected in the follow-ing situations:

When driving in the rain andthrough puddles.After washing the vehicle.When driving on roads spreadwith salt.

After working on the brakesdue to oil or grease residues.When driving on soiled roadsor offroad.

Poor braking action due tomoisture and dirt.

Brake until brakes are dry orclean; clean if necessary.Brake early until the full brakingaction is available again.

Maxi-Scooter ParkingSide stand

Brake system withBMW Motorrad ABSHow does ABS work?The maximum braking force thatcan be transferred to the roadsurface is partially dependent onthe friction coefficient of the roadsurface. Gravel, ice, snow andwet roads offer a considerablypoorer friction coefficient than adry, clean asphalt surface. Thepoorer the friction coefficient ofthe road surface is, the longerthe braking distance will be.If the maximum transferrablebraking force is exceeded whenthe driver increases the brakepressure, the wheels begin tolock and driving stability is lost,and a fall can result. Before thissituation occurs, ABS intervenesand adjusts the brake pressureto the maximum transferrablebraking force. This enables thewheels to continue to turn and

maintains driving stability regard-less of the road surface condi-tion.

What happens whenrough roads areencountered?Bumpy or rough roads can brieflylead to a loss of contact betweenthe tires and the road surface,until the transferable brakingforce is reduced to zero. If brak-ing is carried out in this situa-tion, ABS must reduce the brakepressure to ensure driving sta-bility when restoring contact tothe road. At this point in time,the BMW Motorrad ABS mustassume extremely low friction co-efficients (gravel, ice, snow) sothat the running wheels turn inevery imaginable case and thedriving stability is ensured. Afterdetecting the actual conditions,the system adjusts the optimumbrake pressure.

Lifting off rear wheelEven during severe braking, ahigh level of tire grip can meanthat the front wheel does notlock up until very late, if at all.Consequently, ABS does notintervene until very late, if atall. Under these circumstancesthe rear wheel can lift off theground, and the outcome can bea high-siding situation in whichthe Maxi-Scooter can flip over.

Heavy braking can lead tothe rear wheel lifting off the

ground.When braking, bear in mindthat the ABS control cannotalways be relied on to preventthe rear wheel from lifting off theground.

What are the designcharacteristics of theBMW Motorrad ABS?The BMW Motorrad ABS en-sures driving stability on anysurface within the limits of driv-ing physics. The system is notoptimized for the special condi-tions encountered under extremeweather during off-road and race-track use.

Special situationsTo detect the tendency of thewheels to lock up, the speedsof the front and rear wheel arecompared. If implausible valuesare detected over a longer periodof time, the ABS function is de-activated for safety reasons andan ABS fault is indicated. A self-diagnosis routine must be com-pleted before the error will bedisplayed.In addition to problems on theBMW Motorrad ABS, unusual

driving conditions can also leadto a fault message.Unusual riding conditions:

Driving on the rear wheel(wheely) for a longer period.Rear wheel spinning in placewith front brake engaged (burnout).Locked-up rear wheel for alonger period of time, e.g.when riding downhill offroad.

Should a fault code result due toone of the driving conditions de-scribed above, the ABS functioncan be reactivated by switchingthe ignition off and then on again.

How important is regularmaintenance?

Any technical system is al-ways only as good as its

maintenance condition.To ensure that theBMW Motorrad ABS is in anoptimally maintained condition, it

is vital that the specified running-in checks be complied with.

Reserves for safetyBut remember: the potentiallyshorter braking distances whichBMW Motorrad ABS permitsmust not be used as an excusefor careless riding. ABS is pri-marily a means of ensuring asafety margin in genuine emer-gencies.Be careful in curves! When youapply the brakes on a corner,the motorcycle's weight andmomentum take over and evenBMW Motorrad ABS is unable tocounteract their effects.

Tire Pressure ControlTCP/RDC

OperationA sensor located in each tiremonitors the air temperature andthe inflation pressure inside thetire and transmits this informationto the control unit.The sensors are equipped witha centrifugal controller thatsuppresses transmission of themonitored data until a speed ofapprox. 18 mph (30 km/h) isreached. Before initial receptionof the tire inflation pressure, -- is shown in the display foreach tire. The sensors continueto transmit the monitored datafor approx. 15 minutes after themotorcycle comes to a stop.

TemperaturecompensationThe inflation pressure within atire is sensitive to temperature:it responds to higher tire tem-peratures by increasing, and tolower temperatures by dropping.

Tire temperature, in turn, variesaccording to the ambient temper-ature as well as in response todriving style and trip duration.

The tire inflation pressures thatappear in the multifunction dis-play are generated with temper-ature compensation; they are ad-justed for a tire temperature of68 °F (20 °C). No temperaturecompensation is available in theinflation pressure gauges at fill-ing stations, meaning that themeasured tire inflation pressurevaries according to tire temper-ature. As a result, the pressurefigures indicated by the gaugesat filling stations will usually varyfrom those appearing in the mul-tifunction display.

Adjusting inflationpressureCompare the TCP/RDC value inthe multifunction display with thevalue on the back cover of theRider's Manual. The differencebetween the two values must becompensated with the air pres-sure tester at the filling station.

Example: according to theRider's Manual, the tire inflationpressure is to be 36 psi (2.5 bar),however 33 psi (2.3 bar) isshown in the multifunctiondisplay. It is low by 3 psi(0.2 bar).The tester at the filling stationindicates 34.8 psi (2.4 bar). Thisvalue must be increased by 3 psi(0.2 bar) to 37.8 psi (2.6 bar) inorder to produce the correct tireinflation pressure.

Affect of wheel size onABSThe wheel sizes play a major rolewith the ABS system. The di-ameter and width of the wheelsstored in the control unit haveparticular significance as thebasis for all necessary calcula-tions.

Care productsBMW Motorrad recommendsthat you use cleaning andcare products available at yourauthorized BMW Motorradretailer. BMW CareProductshave been materials tested,laboratory tested, and field testedand provide optimum care andprotection for the materials usedin your motorcycle.

The use of unsuitable prod-ucts for cleaning and care

can damage motorcycle compo-nents.For cleaning, do not use any sol-vents such as nitro-thinners, coldcleaning agents, fuel or similar,and do not use cleaning agentsthat contain alcohol.

Washing yourmotorcycleBMW Motorrad recommendsthat you use BMW Insect Re-mover to soften and wash offinsects and stubborn dirt frompainted parts before washing themotorcycle.To prevent stains, do not washthe motorcycle immediately afterit has been exposed to brightsunlight and do not wash it in thesun.Make sure that the motorcycleis washed frequently, especiallyduring the winter months.To remove road salt, clean theMaxi-Scooter with cold water im-mediately after every trip.

After washing the Scooter,after driving through water

or in the rain, braking can be de-layed due to damp brake disksand brake pads.

Brake early until the brake disksand pads are dry.

Warm water intensifies theeffect of salt.

Only use cold water to removeroad salt.

The high water pressurefrom high-pressure clean-

ers (steam blasters) can result indamage to seals, the hydraulicbrake system, the electrics andthe seat.Do not use a steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment.

Cleaning sensitivemotorcycle partsPlastics

If plastic parts are cleanedusing unsuitable cleaning

agents, the surfaces can be dam-aged.Do not use cleaning agents that

10112

contain alcohol, solvents or abra-sives to clean plastic parts.'Insect sponges' or sponges withhard surfaces can also lead toscratches.

Fairings and panelsClean fairings and panels withwater and BMW plastic cleaner.

Windshields and lens aremanufactured of plasticClean off dirt and insects with asoft sponge and plenty of water.

Soften stubborn dirt anddead insects by covering

the affected areas with a wetcloth.

ChromeEspecially in the case of roadsalt, carefully clean chrome partswith plenty of water and BMWauto shampoo. Use chrome pol-ish for additional treatment.

RadiatorClean the radiator regularly toprevent overheating of the en-gine due to inadequate cooling.For example, use a garden hosewith low water pressure.

Cooling fins can be benteasily.

When cleaning the radiator, en-sure that the fins are not bent.

RubberTreat rubber components withwater or BMW rubber protectioncoating agent.

Using silicone sprays forthe care of rubber seals can

cause damage.Do not use silicone sprays orcare products that containsilicone.

Paint careWashing the motorcycle regularlywill help counteract the long-termeffects of substances that dam-age the paint, especially if yourmotorcycle is ridden in areaswith high air pollution or naturalsources of dirt, e.g. tree resin orpollen.At the same time, you shouldremove particularly aggressivematerials immediately; otherwisechanges in the paint and discol-oration can occur. These includespilled fuel, oil, grease and brakefluid as well as bird droppings.It is advisable to use BMW CarPolish or BMW Paint Cleaner inthis case.Contamination on the paint fin-ish is particularly easy to seeafter the motorcycle has beenwashed. Remove this type ofsoiling with cleaning naphtha orspirit on a clean cloth or cottonball. BMW Motorrad recom-
