BMW F 800 GS 2012 User Manual

Engine run-in speed
<5000 min
-1
Have the first inspection carried
out after 300 - 750 mls (500 -
1200 km).
Brake pads
New brake pads must be run in
before they achieve their opti-
mum friction force. This initial
reduction in braking efficiency
can be compensated for by ex-
erting greater pressure on the
brake levers.
New brake pads can extend
stopping distance by a sig-
nificant margin.
Brake early.
Tires
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tires
are run in. This running in proce-
dure is essential if the tires are to
achieve maximum grip.
New tires have not
achieved their full adhesion
yet. There is a danger of
accidents when driving at
extreme angles.
Avoid extreme angles.

Engine speed warning
The engine speed warning sig-
nals to the driver that the red
engine speed range has been
reached. This signal is shown in
red by the flashing of the anti-
theft alarm indicator light 1.
The signal is maintained until the
transmission is upshifted or the
engine speed is reduced. It can
be activated or deactivated by
the driver.
