standards of BMW Scooters are maintained by consistent, ongoing development efforts embracing their design, equipment, and accessories. For this reason, some aspects of your vehicle may vary from the descriptions in this rider's manual. In addition, BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee the total absence of errors. We hope you will appreciate that no claims can be recognized based on the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual. Additional sources of information BMW Motorrad retailers Your BMW Motorrad retailer is always happy to answer any of your questions. Internet The Rider's Manual for your vehicle, the operating and installation instructions for optional accessories and general BMW Motorrad information related to the technology or other features are available at www.bmw-motorrad.com/ service. Certificates and operating permits The certificates for the vehicle and the official operating per- mits for possible accessories are available at www.bmw- motorrad.com/certification. Data memory General Electronic control units are in- stalled in the vehicle. Electronic control units process data re- ceived from vehicle sensors, self-generated data or data ex- changed between control units, for example. Some control units are required for safe vehicle op- eration or provide driving assis- tance, such as driver assistance systems. Control units also make comfort and infotainment func- tions possible. Information about the stored or exchanged data can be obtained from the vehicle manufacturer, such as in the form of a separate booklet. Personal references Every vehicle is marked with a unique vehicle identification num- ber. Depending on the country, the vehicle owner can be iden- tified using the vehicle identifi- cation number and registration number and the help of the rele- vant authorities. There are also other ways to trace data ob- tained from the vehicle back to 1 8 z General instructions

as via the used ConnectedDrive Account. Data privacy laws In accordance with applicable data privacy laws, vehicle users have certain rights over the ve- hicle manufacturer or company that collects or processes per- sonal data. Vehicle users have the right to obtain comprehensive information without charge from the locations that store the vehicle user's per- sonal data. These locations may be: The vehicle manufacturer Qualified service partners Specialist workshops Service providers Vehicle users may request in- formation about the type of per- sonal data that is stored, the pur- pose for which the data will be used and the source of the data. This information can only be ob- tained by a registered owner or a person with written proof autho- rizing use of the vehicle. The right to information also in- cludes information related to data transmitted to other companies or locations. The vehicle manufacturer's web- site contains the appropriate pri- vacy policy notices. The privacy policy notices contain information on the right to delete or correct data. The vehicle manufacturer also provides the manufacturer contact information and the con- tact information of the data secu- rity officer. The vehicle owner can have a BMW Motorrad retailer or other qualified service partner or spe- cialist workshop read out the data stored in the vehicle for a fee if required. The vehicle data is read out via the power socket required by law for on-board diagnosis (OBD) in the vehicle. Legal requirements for the disclosure of data The vehicle manufacture is re- quired by the law applicable in this context to provide authori- ties with the data stored by the manufacturer. Providing this data within the scope required is on a case-by-case basis, for instance to clarify a criminal offense. Government agencies are autho- rized by the law applicable in this context to read out the data from the vehicle themselves in individ- ual cases. Operating data in the vehicle Control units process data so that the vehicle can run. Examples of these include: 1 9 z General instructions

hicle and its individual com- ponents, such as wheel RPM, wheel speed and deceleration Environmental conditions, such as temperature The data is processed only in the vehicle itself and is usually tem- porary. The data is not stored beyond the period in which the vehicle is operating. Electronic components such as control units contain components for storing technical information. This may be information about the vehicle's condition, compo- nent load, events or faults stored temporarily or permanently. This information generally doc- uments the condition of a com- ponent, module, system or the surrounding area; for example: Operating conditions of system components, such as fill levels and tire pressure Malfunctions and faults in key system components, such as lights and brakes Vehicle responses in specific driving situations, such as acti- vation of dynamic driving sys- tems Information about events caus- ing damage to the vehicle The data is necessary for pro- viding control unit functions. In addition, it is used by the vehicle manufacturer to detect and elim- inate malfunctions as well as to optimize vehicle functions. The majority of this data is tem- porary and is processed only within the vehicle itself. Only a small amount of event-driven data is stored in the event data recorder and fault memory. When a vehicle is serviced, such as for repairs, servicing processes, warranty cases and quality assurance measures, this technical information can be read out from the vehicle together with the vehicle identification number. The information can be read out by a BMW Motorrad retailer or other qualified service partner or specialist workshop. The power socket required by law for on- board diagnosis (OBD) in the ve- hicle is used to read out the data. The data is collected, processed and used by the respective service network locations. The data documents the vehicle's technical states and helps with fault finding, compliance with warranty obligations and quality improvements. The manufacturer also has prod- uct monitoring obligations arising from product liability law. The 1 10 z General instructions

technical data from the vehicle in order to fulfill these obligations. The data from the vehicle can also be used to verify customer warranty and guarantee claims. The fault memory and event data recorder in the vehicle can be reset by a BMW Motorrad retailer or other qualified service partner or specialist workshop as part of repair work or servicing. Data input and data transfer in the vehicle General Depending on the equipment, comfort settings and individual- ized settings in the vehicle can be saved and changed or reset at any time. Examples of these include: Windshield position settings Chassis and suspension adjust- ment settings It is possible to introduce data into the vehicle entertainment and communication system via a smartphone, for instance. Depending on the individual equipment, this includes: Multimedia data, such as music for playback Address book data for use in conjunction with a communi- cation system or integrated navigation system Entered navigation destinations Data about the use of inter- net services. This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or is on a device connected to the vehicle, such as a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player. If this data is saved in the vehi- cle, it can be deleted at any time. This data is transmitted to third parties only upon personal re- quest as part of the use of online services. The data transmitted depends on the selected settings when using the services. Integrating mobile end de- vices Depending on the equipment, mobile end devices connected to the vehicle, such as smart- phones, are controlled using the vehicle's controls. This enables audio and visual output from mobile end devices through the multimedia system. At the same time, certain infor- mation is transmitted to the mo- bile end device. This includes for instance position data and other general vehicle data, depending on the type of integration, and makes it possible to optimize the use of selected apps, such as those for navigation or music playback. The way the data is processed further is determined by the provider of the particular app 1 11 z General instructions

settings depends on the particular app and the operating system of the mobile end device. Services General If the vehicle has a mobile phone connection, this connection makes it possible to exchange data between the vehicle and other systems. The mobile phone connection is made possible through the vehicle's transmitter and receiver or via personally integrated mobile end devices such as smartphones. Online functions, as they are called, are used over this mobile phone connection. These include online services and apps provided by the vehicle manufacturer or other providers. Vehicle manufacturer ser- vices In the case of the vehicle man- ufacturer's online services, the particular functions are described at the appropriate location, such as in the Rider's Manual or on manufacturer's website. The rel- evant legal information on data privacy is also provided there. Personal data may be used in order to provide online services. The data is exchanged over a secure connection, i.e. with the vehicle manufacturer's IT sys- tems which are intended for this purpose. Any collection, processing and use of personal data that goes beyond the provision of services take place only as permitted by law, on the basis of a contractual agreement or as a result of con- sent. It is also possible to have the entire data connection acti- vated or deactivated. This is not the case for legally prescribed functions. Services of other providers When using the online services of other providers, these services are subject to the responsibil- ity and the data protection and usage conditions of the respec- tive provider. The vehicle manu- facturer has no control over the content exchanged via these ser- vices. Information about the type, scope and purpose of collecting and using personal data as part of third-party services can be ob- tained from the particular service provider. 1 12 z General instructions

If the engine speed is increased, the clutch closes and the Maxi-Scooter drives off. In the range from approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) to approxi- mately 75 mph (120 km/h), the engine operates at almost con- stant speed in the range of the maximum torque. The change in speed is achieved by CVT. This only slightly changes the engine noise in this speed range. Speeds above approximately 75 mph (120 km/h) are achieved by increasing the engine speed. 6 72 z Riding

load ranges prior to the pre- delivery check. Try to do most of your rid- ing during this initial period on twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid- ing highways if possible. Have the initial inspection per- formed after the first 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. WARNING New brake pads Extension of the braking distance, accident hazard 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. WARNING Loss of adhesion of new tires on wet roads and at extreme angles Accident hazard Always think well ahead and avoid extreme angles. Brakes How do you achieve the shortest stopping distances? During braking the load distri- bution changes dynamically be- tween the front and the rear wheel. The heavier you brake, the greater the weight transfer to the front wheel. Increases in the load on an individual wheel are accompanied by a rise in the effective braking force that the wheel can provide. To achieve the shortest possi- ble braking distance, the front brake must be applied quickly and with progressively greater levels of force. This procedure provides ideal exploitation of the extra weight transfer to the front wheel. With the frequently instructed "forced braking," in which the brake pressure is gen- erated as quickly as possible and 6 73 z Riding

distribution lags behind the pro- gressive increases in deceleration rate and the braking force cannot be completely transferred to the road surface. It would cause the front wheel to lock up. Locking up of the front wheel is prevented by BMW Motorrad ABS. Descending mountain passes WARNING Braking only with the rear- wheel brake when descend- ing mountain passes Reduced of braking action, de- struction of the brakes caused by overheating Use both front and rear brakes, and make use of the engine's braking effect as well. Wet, soiled brakes Moisture and dirt on the brake disks and the brake pads result in a decrease in the braking action. Delayed or poorer braking action must be expected in the follow- ing situations: When driving in the rain and through puddles. After washing the vehicle. When driving on roads spread with salt. After working on the brakes due to oil or grease residues. When driving on soiled roads or offroad. WARNING Poorer braking action due to moisture and dirt Accident hazard Brake until brakes are dry or clean; clean if necessary. Brake early until the full braking action is available again. Park the Maxi-Scooter Side stand Switch off engine.

technology is available at: bmw-motorrad.com/technol- ogy Antilock Brake System (ABS) How does the ABS work? The maximum braking force that can be transferred to the road surface is partially dependent on the friction coefficient of the road surface. Gravel, ice, snow and wet roads offer a considerably poorer friction coefficient than a dry, clean asphalt surface. The poorer the friction coefficient of the road surface is, the longer the braking distance will be. If the maximum transferable brake force is exceeded when the driver increases the brake pressure, the wheels begin to lock and driving stability is lost. A fall can occur. Before this situation occurs, ABS intervenes and adjusts the brake pressure to the maximum transferable braking force. This enables the wheels to continue to turn and maintains driving stability regardless of the road surface condition. What happens when rough roads are encountered? Bumpy or rough roads can briefly lead to a loss of contact between the tires and the road surface, until the transferable braking force is reduced to zero. If brak- ing is carried out in this situa- tion, the ABS reduces the brake pressure to ensure driving sta- bility when restoring contact to the road. At this point in time, the BMW Motorrad ABS must assume extremely low friction coefficients (gravel, ice, snow) so that the road wheels turn in every imaginable case and the driving stability is ensured. After detecting the actual conditions, the system adjusts the optimum brake pressure. Lifting off rear wheel Even during severe braking, a high level of tire grip can mean that the front wheel does not lock up until very late, if at all. Consequently, ABS does not intervene until very late, if at all. Under these circumstances the rear wheel can lift off the ground, and the outcome can be a high-siding situation in which the Maxi-Scooter can flip over. 7 80 z Technology in detail

due to heavy braking Accident hazard When braking heavily, bear in mind that the ABS control can- not always be relied on to pre- vent the rear wheel from lifting off the ground. What are the design characteristics of the BMW Motorrad ABS? The BMW Motorrad ABS en- sures driving stability on any surface within the limits of driv- ing physics. The system is not optimized for the special condi- tions encountered under extreme weather during off-road and race- track use. Special situations To detect the tendency of the wheels to lock up, the speeds of the front and rear wheel are compared. If implausible values are detected over a longer period of time, the ABS function is de- activated for safety reasons and an ABS error is indicated. A self- diagnosis routine must be com- pleted before the error will be displayed. Apart from problems on the BMW Motorrad ABS, unusual riding conditions can also cause a fault message to be generated. Unusual riding conditions: With ASC switched off: rid- ing for a lengthy period with the back wheel lifted off the ground (wheelie) Rear wheel rotating with the vehicle held stationary by ap- plying the front brake (burn- out). Rear wheel skidding on a slip- pery surface for a lengthy pe- riod, for example deceleration using the engine's braking ef- fect. Should a fault code occur due to an unusual driving condition, the ABS function can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. How important is regular maintenance? WARNING Brake system not regularly serviced Accident hazard To ensure that the BMW Motorrad ABS is in a properly maintained condition, it is vital that the specified service intervals are kept to. 7 81 z Technology in detail

But remember: the potentially shorter braking distances which BMW Motorrad ABS permits must not be used as an excuse for careless riding. ABS is pri- marily a means of ensuring a safety margin in genuine emer- gencies. Be careful in curves! When you apply the brakes on a corner, the motorcycle's weight and momentum take over and even BMW Motorrad ABS is unable to counteract their effects. Automatic Stability Control (ASC) How does ASC work? BMW Motorrad ASC compares the wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels. Differences in the relative rotation speeds al- low the system to determine the slip rate, and thus the stability re- serves at the rear wheel. The en- gine management system adapts the engine torque when the slip limit is exceeded. Special situations As lean angles increase, accel- eration potential is also progres- sively restricted by the laws of physics. This can result in de- layed acceleration when coming out of very tight curves. The system compares the rota- tion speeds of the front and rear wheels to detect any tendency for the rear wheel to spin or lose traction. If the system registers implausible data for an extended period of time it will deactivate the ASC functionality as safety precaution and a display will alert you to an ASC error. A self-diag- nosis routine must be completed before the error will be displayed. Driving on the rear wheel (per- forming Wheelies) for an ex- tended period may cause the ASC of the BMW Motorrad to switch off automatically. If the front wheel loses contact to the ground during extreme acceleration, the ASC reduces the engine torque until the front wheel touches the ground again. BMW Motorrad recommends that you respond to this condi- tion by twisting back the throttle grip somewhat to return to stable dynamic operating conditions as quickly as possible. On smooth surfaces never com- pletely twist the throttle grip back in an abrupt manner. The en- gine's braking torque could cause the rear wheel to lock, resulting in unstable motorcycle condi- tions. This case cannot be con- trolled by BMW Motorrad ASC. 7 82 z Technology in detail

or snow) the control interven- tions of the ASC can reduce the driving power at the rear wheel to such a degree that the rear wheel no longer turns sufficiently. In this case, BMW Motorrad rec- ommends switching off the ASC temporarily. Bear in mind that the rear wheel will spin on the loose surface and close the throttle in good time before you reach a firm surface. Then switch on the ASC again. Tire pressure control (RDC) with tire pressure monitor (RDC)OE Operation A sensor located in each tire monitors the pressure and air temperature of the tire and trans- mits this information to the con- trol unit. The sensors are equipped with a centrifugal controller that sup- presses transmission of the mea- sured values until a speed of ap- proximately 18 mph (30 km/h) is reached. Before initial recep- tion of the tire pressure, "--" is shown in the multifunction display for each tire. The sen- sors continue to transmit the monitored data for approximately 15 minutes after the motorcycle comes to a stop. Temperature compensation The tire inflation pressure is tem- perature dependent, i.e. it in- creases or decreases together with the tire air temperature. The tire air temperature is dependent on the ambient temperature, the driving style and the length of the journey. The tire pressures that appear in the multifunction display are temperature-compensated; they are adjusted for a tire air tem- perature of 68 °F (20 °C). No temperature compensation is available in the pressure gages at filling stations, meaning that the measured tire pressure varies according to tire air temperature. As a result, the pressure figures indicated by the gauges at fill- ing stations will usually vary from those appearing in the multifunc- tion display. 7 83 z Technology in detail

the multifunction display with the value on the back cover of the Rider's Manual. The difference between the two values must be compensated with the tire inflation pressure tester at the filling station. Example: according to the Rider's Manual, the tire inflation pressure is to be 36 psi (2.5 bar), however 33 psi (2.3 bar) is shown in the multifunction display. It is low by 3 psi (0.2 bar). The tester at the filling station indicates 34.8 psi (2.4 bar). This value must be increased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) to 37.8 psi (2.6 bar) in order to produce the correct tire inflation pressure. 7 84 z Technology in detail

ABS The wheel sizes play a major role in the ABS system. The diam- eter and width of the wheels stored in the control unit have particular significance as the ba- sis for all necessary calculations. A change in these sizes resulting from conversion to wheels not installed as standard equipment can seriously affect the control efficiency of the system. The sensor rings required for wheel speed detection must also match the system installed and must not be replaced. If you want to equip your Maxi- Scooter with different wheels, please speak to a specialized workshop, and preferably a BMW Motorrad retailer. In some cases the data stored in the control unit can be adapted to the new wheel sizes. Effect of wheel sizes on the ASC The wheel sizes play a major role in the ASC suspension control system. The radii of the wheels in particular are stored in the control unit as the basis for all necessary calculations. A change in these sizes resulting from con- version to wheels not installed as standard equipment can seri- ously affect the control efficiency of these systems. ATTENTION Faults in the ASC caused by changing tire radii The ASC grips despite good ad- hesion Check the wear and pressure of both tires. Calibrate the ASC after every tire change. If there are an unexpectedly large number of ASC interven- tions: Recalibrate the ASC. ATTENTION Loss of the adaptation values for the radii of the tires in the Digital Motor Electronics Accident hazard Recalibrate the ASC after every software update. Information on calibration, see "Operation" ( 53). RDC sticker with tire pressure monitor (RDC)OE 8 98 z Maintenance
