Model Description

K60

HP4 Race

SITUATION
Due to the high-performance nature of the HP4 Race (K60), the maintenance and diagnostic
requirements are different than standard production motorcycles. While this information can be found
in AIR, this bulletin is being provided as a summary.
1. MAINTENANCE
The annual usage of a racing motorcycle, which is only driven on racing tracks, cannot be compared
to motorcycles that have vehicle type approval. The service interval is designed such that it ideally
suited for this special purpose and that there are no restrictions for the customers at the individual
racing events. In addition, through the service interval, we ensure the safe function of the installed
"high-end components".
So, in the case of HP4 Race, after each event, a service is due once a year or every 5000 km
(whichever occurs first).
The "high-end components" installed in the HP4 Race, require maintenance work with the use of
special tools and specialist workers. Due to the exclusivity of this vehicle, these special tools cannot
be provided to BMW Motorrad partners all over the world. Due to this, it is necessary that the
required chassis and suspension components listed in the maintenance schedule (see Annex) and
which are required for the service are dispatched to the respective base of the corresponding
component manufacturer.

00 02 21_HP4 RACE SPECIAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

The 2D instrument cluster cannot be individualized, diagnosed, programmed, or encoded using the
BMW Motorrad workshop system.
In order to make those changes, software and hardware from 2D (Debus & Diebold Meßsysteme
GmbH) are required.
Engine control
The engine control can be diagnosed, programmed, and encoded using the BMW Motorrad
workshop system.
As the vehicle does not have an ignition lock or an EWS, the following features must be noted:
At the start of an ISTA session, a pop-up appears with the following notes after successful
identification:
This motorcycle has a vehicle electrical system with limited functions:
Delete fault memory:
Do NOT use "Delete fault memory" in the control units/fault memory overview.
Use the "Delete fault memory" ("Complete vehicle" menu point) service function.
Switch ignition on/off:
After switching the ignition off, the interface is switched off. A message appears.
Wait until the interface is connected to ISTA once again after switching the ignition on
again. The "Next" button of the message is then active.
Click the "Next" button and continue with the session.
Optional accessories
OA components such as e.g. spring travel sensors cannot be diagnosed.
3. REPLACEMENT PARTS
The replacement parts are meant exclusively for HP4 Race holders, it is for this reason that the
