EWS Electronic

The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through a
ring antenna incorporated in the
steering and ignition lock. The
engine management system
does not enable engine starting
until this key is recognized as
"authorized" for your motorcycle.
NOTICE
A further key attached to the
same ring as the ignition key
used to start the engine could
"irritate" the electronics, in which
case the enabling signal for start-
ing is not issued. The warning
is displayed in the multifunction
display with the key symbol.
Always store further vehicle keys
separately from the ignition key.
If you lose a vehicle key, you can
have it disabled by your autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
When having a key disabled you
should also bring all of the mo-
torcycle's remaining keys with
you. The engine can no longer
be started using a disabled key;
however, a disabled key can be
enabled again.
Ignition keys are available
only through an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer. The
keys are part of an integrated
security system, so the retailer is
under an obligation to check the
legitimacy of all applications for
replacement/extra keys.
