fi lters out insignifi cant data and interference signals within a defi ned
tolerance, making the system largely immune to interference such as
electromagnetic infi ltration.

As on the K 1200 S, a total of fi ve control units including the anti-theft warning
system and ABS communicate with one another on the new K 1300 S, the
instrument cluster also serving as a control unit.

The BMS-K Digital Motor Electronics control unit is responsible not only
for the engine management described above, but also transfers all data
to the diagnostic control unit. The Central Vehicle Electrics (CVE), in turn, is
responsible for all non-engine-specifi c electrical features and components.

On-board network without melt-down fuses.
The entire on-board network makes do without conventional melt-down
fuses. In the event of a short circuit or malfunction, DVE reliably switches off
the function involved, saving information on the cause of the problem
for central diagnosis. This allows quick, spec fi c and to-the-point allocation
of the defect. The big advantage of such electronic management is that
CVE automatically re-connects the function involved every time the motor-
cycle is re-started, checking independently whether the defect still prevails.

Since the other functions are not affected by a possible failure along one
of the paths, the entire system as such remains reliable and trouble-free.

The control units also serve as relays, only the starter still being activated
by a conventional relay. A compact alternator generating 580 W at 42 Amps
supplies the electrical system on the K 1300 S, and the maintenance-free
battery has a capacity of 14 Amp-hours.

Electronic immobiliser –
anti-theft security of the highest standard.
Like its predecessor, the K 1300 S is equipped as standard with an electronic
immobiliser. Controlled by a transponder integrated in the key, the mobiliser
activates an anti-theft system of the highest standard comparable in every
respect to the anti-theft warning on a BMW car.

Once the ignition key has been inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition
switched on, a chip within the key communicates via the annular aerial in
the ignition lock with the Digital Motor Electronics comprising the anti-theft
warning algorithms.
