For optimal performance, maintain the front tire pressure at 36 psi and the rear tire at 42 psi.
It's recommended to change the oil every 6,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.
Use a high-quality 15W-50 synthetic motorcycle oil that meets API SL/CF and ACEA A3 specifications.
To reset the service light, use a GS-911 tool or visit a BMW dealership for assistance.
Regular maintenance includes oil changes every 6,000 miles, valve clearance checks every 12,000 miles, and brake fluid changes every two years.
Check the battery charge and connections, inspect the starter motor, and ensure the fuel system is functioning properly.
Stop riding immediately, allow the engine to cool, check coolant levels, and inspect the radiator and fan for blockages.
Refer to the owner's manual for suspension settings and adjust the preload and damping to suit your weight and riding style.
Common issues include faulty wiring and battery problems. Inspect connections, replace worn-out wires, and ensure the battery is in good condition.
