Which "changes"? AI with BMW?

I'm not sure how or if the BMW's do this, but on my KTM, they suggest letting the bike run at idle for at least 5 minutes when you want the EFI to automatically compensate for changes. This could include things like riding at an elevation that's significantly different than the one you normally ride in, or changes to the bike's exhaust system, etc. I was hoping the BMW had this feature, and it eventually reacted like it did.

Do what you can while you still can.

Thought I should get back to you guys with the end of the story. The answer to the problem was to ride the bike and let the computer catch up with the changes. Interestingly, it was a gradual process. At first, it threw up the triangle and wrench symbols and set the rev limiter to 6500 rpms. After a couple of cycles of starting, riding and restarting, it dropped the wrench symbol completely and the triangle after a few minutes of running. Somewhere along the way, it moved the rev limit back up to 8500 rpms. Now the caution lights do not come on and the bike rides as normal.

Thanks for completing the story.....

Hi
Triumphs are similar, they call it the 12 minute tune!
Start the bike allow to warm without touching the the throttle until the fan kicks in.
Allow to idle for 12 mins and the ECU with reset the o2 and other clever sensors.
Simples. 😀😁

Wow, my bike is smarter than me. So, now I know I won't outride it and it adjusts itself. Well, at least it needs me for oil changes and new tires.
