2.- Conectar bateria y poner contacto y cuando termine el check de luces "sin ar rancar" llevar por dos veces el acelerador hasta el final y soltar. 3.- Arrancar la moto (sin tocar el acelerador) y dejarla a renlentí durante 10 min utos (para que todos los sensores se pongan apunto) 4.- Apagar la moto y listo. y despues volverla a encender y darle gass
Resetting the BMS-C
"When folks have stalling, surging or uneven running problems and a sensor is no t working correctly or the idle valve sticks, the software uses a substitute val ue setting and the fault is recorded in the BMS Compact unit. Disconnecting the battery for a few minutes (Removing JUST the negative terminal (for a while) is all you need to do if you want to clear the "brain") deletes those recorded faul ts and resets the unit to its factory setting. That is all that is required for a reset. No twiddling throttles, no running engine till fan comes on. If it keep s happening then the owner should take the bike to the dealer and let the BMW Mo DiTeC establish what the problem is." Trevor #999's BMW Contact... See the Batte ry FAQ on how to get access to / disconnect the battery. Method 1: Removing the BMS-C connector (easy-ish) 1. Turn your key / ignition switch to the OFF position first! 2. Remove the seat from your bike 3. Undo the large multi-pin connector off the BMS-C itself. 4. Wait 15 minutes, then reconnect the BMS-C 5. Note: If you are staying somewhere and you do not want anyone to ride your bike away, you can even take the whole BMS-C unit with you! Method 2: Disconnecting the battery (annoying) 1. This OUTDATED procedure has been used with some success in the past but ac cording to Trevor#999 Contact at BMW, it is actually incorrect. 2. Remove the faux tank plastic to get to the battery 3. Leave the battery installed, just disconnect the negative terminal 100% fo r 2-3 minutes. Note the clock will re-set to 12:00. 4. Pretend your bike has just gotten a FI software upgrade and the battery is disconnected. 5. Re-connect the battery positive 1st, put the plastic side panels on and ro ll the bike outside to fresh air. 6. Key on ignition to dash lights "on" position (DON'T START!). 7. Fully twist throttle 2 times hitting the min and max levels, release throt tle completely. (This part of the procedure is contentious. ed) 8. Start bike with NO THROTTLE, leave bike alone (don't touch throttle) idlin g for 5-10 minutes until the fan comes on. (Again a contentious issue) 9. You are done. Ride away or shut down bike. Method 3: Removing the fuse (easy) 1. The other "simple" method I would suggest is removal of the fuses. Can not remember which fuses, but the 15A and 10A fuses ring a bell (remove both fuses just to be sure). The manual only warns you to switch off the ignition before ch anging fuses and never to repair a fuse. 2. Once the fuse has been removed, wait 15mins then plug it back in 3. Note: This method has not yet been confirmed. However if the ECU does get power even with ALL the fuses removed, I would be somewhat concerned, as this co uld result in damage to the ECU if there was a short circuit somewhere. Why do I need to wait 15mins? * The BMS-C uses a CPU that contains about 1-4 kbytes of memory. This memory probably retains power for short periods of time through a capacitor on the BMS -C mainboard. It probably takes ten minutes for this capacitor to discharge. Onc e the capacitor has discharged, the contents of the CPU memory are "lost" - thus any "stored" information is lost. Has anyone experienced any problems with the suggested reset methods? * I have yet to hear of a fried / damaged BMS-C caused by any reset method s uggested. The only damage I have heard about has been caused by people connectin g a battery with the wrong polarity. See the Battery FAQ Winter #1935 * I have now lost count of how many times I have disconnected and reconnecte d my BMS connector. When I am on trips, IF I think the security of my machine is doubtful, I take the BMS out and put it on my Motel room each night. My bike is now 4 years old and no problems so far. jack #1977 * There is a remote chance of damage to the BMS-C if you connect the battery terminals up in the wrong order. When re-connecting the battery, the ground (ne gative) terminal is connected last. Winter #1935 Should I let the bike idle after a reset? * BMW manuals do not recommend allowing the fuel injected F650's idle for to o long. * I believe that letting the bike warm up a few minutes (don't touch the thr ottle) when you crank it up for the first time in a new loction is a good thing to do. I don't have the science to support any of this. it just seems to work. a ndy112652 #1481 * I agree that letting the bike run is beneficial. This is contrary to what the manual advises (which is to get underway immediately once the bike is starte d). I think allowing the bike to idle helps establish the base parameter of the computer's air-gas analytic function. I notice my bike stalls a lot less when I let it idle for a while. NothingClever #1441 * Note: The cooling system on the fuel injected F650's is not that fantastic . Allowing your bike to idle for too long will result in the fan coming on, and eventually may result in your bike overheating.
