The mass production of lighter and more compact six-cylinder in-line
the engine.
Previously, an in-line six-cylinder arrangement resulted in a very long
structures or large, depending on the installation drive, which in turn
led the disadvantages in terms of surface geometry, weight distribution and center of
of gravity. It is where the revolutionary K-1600 models.
The engine is about 100 mm closer all the previous series
production six-cylinder in-line engines used in the construction of a motorcycle. This
extremely compact design and reduced width has been achieved especially
with only a small proportion undersquare caliber career from 67.5 to
72 mm (.938) with a relatively long journey, and the cylinder too small
pitch spacing of 77 mm. The actual distance between
cylinder bores is only 5 mm.
Weight of 102.6 kg (database engine, including the butterfly, the contribution
system, clutch, gearbox and generator), the engine is by far the lightest standard
produced six-cylinder engines for motorcycles online.
Hegemony and comfort.
The transversely mounted six-cylinder engine in the BMW K 1600
models has a capacity of 1649 cc. Its rated power is 118 kW (160 hp)
ca. 7500 rpm. The maximum torque of approx. 175 Nm is reached at
approx. 5 000 rpm. 70 percent of peak torque is available only for
1500 rpm. The development objective here was much higher on tour
Maximum combined property and driveability.
The compact, space-saving technology.
To achieve the narrow construction, electrical and auxiliary
training units were placed behind the crankshaft in the headspace above
gearbox. It has also created an ideal propulsion system
concentration of mass in the center of the vehicle. The total width of the
2. Unit.
The engine is 560 millimeters. This means that the engine is only slightly larger
a stream of high-volume four-cylinder power line.
Because mass balance created by the perfect construction, six-cylinder
the engine does not require any compensation for driving the shaft, and the necessary
elements, which results in weight and increase the benefits of the race
finesse.
In its configuration, the six-cylinder engine based on the familiar four-cylinder
Engine K-line 1300 series, and since it has a cylinder
axis that is tilted forward by 55 degrees. This is reflected not only in
center of gravity, but also a balanced weight distribution from 52 to 48 percent
(K 1600 GT blank) - definitely feels like going on a precise and transparent
Comments from the front when driving dynamics. Tilt motor
also creates space for an aerodynamically optimized intake system directly
above the engine, and provides an ideal framework for profiling
In accordance with the distribution of forces.
Crankshaft and drives the base engine - the narrow and light
six-cylinder 1649 cc.
Run the engine and 1600 K is a one-piece forged construction
hardened steel. He balances the inertia and optimized drives and
the usual six-cylinder offset 120 degrees, even firing intervals.
Special attention was also the focus of a lightweight
so that the weight of the crankshaft is slightly higher than a comparable Vey
four-cylinder engine of only 12.9 kg. The crankshaft is the rolling friction.
All delivered directly to the main bearing oil pressure. Lubrication
delivery to the connecting rod bearing is from the main bearings.
One of the driving force is the main gear web counter
Clutch disc. One more piece in the outer crank web is used to
Detection of motor speed. The unity of the camshafts in the cylinder is
using a tooth type chain to run on a compressionmoulded
pinion gear on the right end of the crankshaft. The
Bearing friction is lightweight forged rods made heat-treated
steel. Size 124.45 mm long, will benefit from a smooth engine
operation and ensure low lateral forces on the pistons, which ensures low
level of internal friction in this area. Technology established crack
used for horizontal partitioning.
Pistons lightweight shoe with a short piston skirt, piston rings two thin
optimize the friction loss and a narrow scraper ring is used. Flat
design of the combustion chamber means that, despite the strong
12.2:1 compression ratio of, it was possible to keep the piston head and
stamp embossed surfaces. It supports combustion and thermodynamically favorable
allows weight optimized piston head shape.
Horizontal separate case in the design of open platform.
Section double cylinder housing is made of very stiff aluminum alloys.
The level of the score is in the center of the crankshaft. The cast of compacted sand
top forms a composite unit made up of very rigid six-cylinder
and support of top level to the crankshaft.
With the shirt of a water cylinder block is designed with an open roof construction
running surfaces with wear resistance, low coefficient of friction nickel-silicon
dispersion coating. Thrown into the bottom of a piece counter is
crankshaft bearing and carries a six-speed transmission.
Cylinder head with the barrel cam and bucket-type tappets.
The output characteristics, efficiency and therefore fuel consumption
engines are largely determined by the cylinder head and valve train. The
Planning chill-cast head, four valves per cylinder and GT models in the 1600 K
GTL is designed for optimal channel geometry, compactness, excellent
thermodynamics and a reliable thermal balance.
In order to optimize inspection intervals, in particular,
BMW Motorrad motor experts have opted for the operation of the valve
bucket hoists. This also combines features of rigidity, compact
construction and reliability.
The two shafts are driven by a general chain-type teeth. Tooth type
chain of transmission is operated hydraulically damped and stretched, and is characterized by a high sensitivity level of functioning.
Design and production innovations of the cam is
Construction of a motorcycle engine. Cams are the composite, where the
individual chambers are molded by compression of a positive coupling with the shaft,
which has a tubular design. The advantages over traditional
ready-chill cast iron or steel camshafts is mainly due to its low weight.
About 1 kg is stored here. The speed limit set for serial
production of 8 500 rpm, even though purely mechanical speed
tolerance is much higher.
In an attempt to reduce the weight of the unit disk as
valve cover and clutch cover are lightweight magnesium.
High compression for maximum efficiency.
A narrow valve angle allows a very compact combustion chamber with a plane
cap, which results in a high geometric compression ratio
12.2:1 is the thermodynamically favorable, mostly designed for a constant piston
head. This high level reflects the effectiveness of the combustion chamber
design in relation to achieving a perfect combustion process and optimum
efficiency.
Integrated dry sump lubrication for optimum oil supply.
Inline six-cylinder engine, and K 1600 GT uses an integrated GTL
dry sump lubrication system. In addition to providing a high level of functioning
reliability, which allows the construction of home plate, and therefore less
mounting position of the engine and a concentration of masses close to
center of gravity. This makes it possible to dispense with a conventional oil pan
with oil tank, so the engine can be placed much lower in the vehicle
would be the case with a conventional design. The oil tank represents a
Oil tank built into the rear deck. A separate tank is
is not necessary, it still has a positive effect in terms of
compact, and the total weight of the bike.
Carefully designed cooling system as heat resistance.
A sophisticated cooling system ensures perfect thermal equilibrium in the sixcylinder engine. The coolant flows crosswise through the cylinder head. contribution of the cooling is done through the bank of cylinders in the "hot" output page, which is also cooled in this way. Just as the greatest
Heat stress occurs, the intensive cooling in the cylinder head ensures fast heat dissipation and therefore a balance of high temperature. Reduction water flow in cylinders reduces the heating phase and reduces cold wear and friction, which also benefits from consumption.
The water pump is supplied with oil pump on the primary disk through the gears. The radiator is a trapezoidal shape and curved and is housed in
Cut down the front to optimize the center of gravity.
Transmission: close to three shafts and selfenergising
Anti-jump clutch.
The torque is transferred from the crankshaft to a self-energizing 10-immersed disc coupling with the anti-jump through a main drive spur gears. Here is developers paid special attention to low-power control for controller.
The gearbox with bevel gear is integrated into the crankcase. In To reduce the width of the building in the area of driver rest of the foot
Specifically, the gearbox is designed as a three-axle transmission with three gearbox shafts arranged one above the other. The gears are helicalcut, a particularly low running noise to get.
Transfer between the phases of the transfer takes place through the transition to a drum, shift fork and changing the sleeves to achieve a tight fit. To save weight, the hollow shift drum a very rigid aluminum alloy and supported by bearings.
E-Gas (Ride-by-wire) provides an excellent response and precise fuel metering.
Central control of the butterfly with a diameter of 52 mm is done through an E-Gas, also known as ride-by-wire. This means that wishes of the driver are transferred directly to the throttle sensortwist grip. The fully electronic engine management system converts command in a torque demand and regulates the electronic throttle the valve accordingly.
The detection of all factors as a couple, it is possible to achieve
Optimal handling different situations, and allows electronic cruise control and traction control. The use of electromotive throttle actuator through several selectable modes also opens up new possibilities in terms of
Fuel consumption and driving dynamics.
Suction system long long stretch of excellent torque.
The butterfly center allows the realization of long tract induction lengths, including the services of a special development of full torque in the lower and medium engine speed ranges - a desirable feature in a touring bike.
For example, some 125 Nm of torque is available at 1,500 rpm.
The position of the engine means that a highly inclined air box in perfect condition
drive can be installed directly above the engine. With a volume of 8.5 liters, the air box with vertical panel air filter helps provide more power development and high torque.
Low fuel consumption by optimizing efficiency.
Low speed, high gas velocities, combustion efficiency and minimize loss of friction in the engine of the K 1600 GT and GTL result in high efficiency and therefore lower fuel consumption. The Precise figures fuel consumption will be announced at a later date. Because of its potential power, the engine achieves high-level figures in this field, which are level of a comparable four-cylinder motorcycle when riding a tour oriented style remains. This is due to the high density geometric and direction of on-line six-cylinder engine at the top of the efficiency.
There are three different modes - "Rain", "Road" and "dynamic" - and optimal adaptation to the surface conditions and driving style.
The rider has three different driving conditions with the push of a button the right end of the handlebar ("Rain," "The Road", "Dynamic"), in order to able to adapt to different uses such as tourism on the road, riding in the wet surfaces and motorcycle dynamics.
In general, the low center of gravity, a concentration very favorable
masses and the ideal distribution of static wheel.
The chassis of the BMW six-cylinder motorcycles is based on the innovative
BMW Motorrad concept already used in the course of the four-cylinder models
The K series The essential elements are in light alloy wheels bridge frame
Duolever and Paralever light the steering wheel in front and
back.
However, the masses have recently been balanced to the specific needs
in conjunction with a touring bike with a six-cylinder engine. Overall, the interaction between
position of the chassis and engine, along with the seating position is a pilot
not only allows a low center of gravity along a very favorable
concentration of the masses, but also provides a static load of the wheel is perfectly balanced
distribution of 52 percent to 48 percent (K 1600 GT vacuum) to
back. Even with a passenger and a heavy load, ensuring
excellent sliding properties.
Main deck type alloy frame.
Component of the central support structure is a main deck type of construction.
Due to the fact that the engine is tilted heavily toward the front profiles
the body can be pushed above the cylinder head, then their composition is largely
independent of the width of the latter. This means that the frame can be very
narrow, especially in the important field of ergonomic knee. The main frame
weighs only 16 kg. The six-cylinder engine is well bolted to the
within eight points and acts as a stiffening and support.
Adapted Paralever swing arm and drive shaft.
In large volume of BMW touring bikes in particular, is a drive shaft
indispensable part of the overall design because of its many advantages.
From family Paralever arm swing, driving back and
Cardan shaft are adapted to the new six-cylinder in terms
their design. In accordance with the numbers of high performance, propeller
shaft and rear boards end of the shaft were designed recently.
3. Chassis.
ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment II to optimize the
all purposes and charge states.
The new BMW K 1600 GT, and K 1600 GTL will also benefit from innovative
ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment II, which offered a special
depending on the equipment works.
With this system, unique in the motorcycle market, the pilot can
conveniently by pressing the button to electronically adjust not only the rebound
damping characteristics of the spring strut front and rear as well as the rest of the spring
("Spring preload") on the back of the spring strut and the second spring rate, and
So the "hardness" of the suspension. The adaptation of additional
spring allows the setting of "Sport, Normal, Comfort" to be released
ESA II, providing features clearly visible on the road. In the
"Sport" mode, two bikes are more dynamic and precise
"Comfort" mode, offering even more comfort while maintaining excellent
stability.
EVO brakes with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS (partly integrated)
optimum deceleration.
The highest standards of safety provided by the well-established EVO
brakes with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS in the part
version that is installed by default. It has been revised to increase
management and steering response even more sensitive. This is
achieved in particular by the use of an additional pressure sensor, which also
shortens stopping distances. Thus, even the most controllable
deceleration to a low level of force control gives the rider extra security.
Traction Control (DTC Dynamic Traction Control) for maximum
Acceleration of security.
For both models K 1600, traction control DTC (Dynamic Traction Control)
available as special equipment factory films. This helps
significantly with a high level of driving dynamics and safety issue.
Traction control DTC was first applied in the Super Sports bike
BMW S 1000 RR. It provides the driver with valuable support, especially in
changing circumstances, a limited grip on surfaces and with great
changes in the levels of friction.
Comparing the speed of the front and the rear wheel via the ABS
using data collected from sensors and sensor box, the electronic
The system detects the rotation of the rear wheel and cut the back of the engine torque as a result
by reducing the ignition angle and injection to adjust the engine via
management.
Unlike previous systems, BMW Motorrad ASC, traction control system
DTC also calculates the position of the vehicle using bank
clusters of sophisticated sensors based on that in its response control.
Traction Control DTC combined individually with the different modes and is
perfectly aligned for maximum driving safety.
The first bikes in the world with adaptive xenon headlights
more security at night.
With the new BMW Motorrad motorcycle tour, the first "Adaptive
Headlights "for motorcycles is optional factory, as well
Standard Xenon (HID) headlight.
Major standard equipment includes fog central location,
Xenon projection module furniture mirror reflector. Level sensors in the
front and rear axles to provide information on the height adjustment permanent. Because of
tone compensation, the lighthouse illuminates the preset optimal space
while riding the motorcycle in a straight line forward, regardless of riding and load
conditions.
The "adaptive headlights" was also a stepping motor which
turns the standard static reflector mirror mirror on the move. About
bank-angle mirror hit on one axis and compensates
the roll angle. Besides the tone compensation, in light of the main
Faro is also balanced with respect to the angle of bank. The result
improved road illumination in curves and therefore
a huge increase in active safety.
Calculating the angle of the edge of the vehicle is achieved through a
the sensor box in the center as already used in BMW Motorrad
Super Sports bike, the S 1000 RR. To share information on the CAN
bus and is used by the traction control and DTC by the ABS. The
complex algorithms used here has been entirely developed by BMW Motorrad.
The two high halogen lighting with rings, to the right
and left of the xenon module, gives K 1600 GT / GTL a striking face. And
for the first time, BMW Motorrad to use position lights that are so typical of
BMW Car.
4. Electrical and
The integrated concept for the first time in the Multi-
Controllers, color TFT display and menu navigation.
The dashboard of the 1600 K models based on digital technology
includes a speedometer and tachometer - each driven by a stepper motor
engine - and a display of information in the form of a 5.7-inch
color. Design of the display is also a completely new
world of motorcycles and offers a high brightness level. Other
things, the display allows for the attractive presentation of text and graphics
several lines. The unit of the instrument is controlled by a photovoltaic system
cellular and automatically illuminates in the dark.
Another novelty of the bike in this form is the multi-controller
presented in the R 1200 RT in late 2009 as part of an integrated approach
Operating principle. Located inside of your left hand leads
communication and, therefore, always in the optimum range, replace the unit
previously installed on the handlebars. The significant advantage of multi-
In comparison with the buttons on the cluster controller function is that the pilot
hand can remain on the handlebars during use. The operation is done
turning the control up and down as well as alternates to the left or right.
Unlike a keyboard, this means that surgery is possible without taking your
eyes off the road.
The range of multi-functional controller has been greatly expanded
for use in the new touring bikes. In addition to its operating system, it is
also select other functions with the Multi-Controller by reference
so that the menus are full color TFT display. On-board computer,
ESA II, the navigation system and seat heating and manage all be
acted in this way. Moreover, the setup menu can be configured
specific settings for driver and vehicle. For example, different languages
are available as the setting of the "adaptive headlights" to mount
right or left of the road. The menu structure has been specially
developed for the specific needs of the bike and optimized by
User testing. Hierarchy low to completely eliminate the complex
by clicking on the menus while traveling. The rider also has the option of
program of its most important function of a button, a marker
consistently provide direct access to this menu (eg navigation system).
Audio system with extended range operations.
The sound system has also been redesigned. It has interfaces
MP3 players, iPods and USB flash drives and conventional devices, such
as a CD player. Ideally situated on the interior finish and is available
for the K 1600 GT as a special feature of the material factory, while the
K 1600 GTL is the standard. With the iPod, and you can USB/MP3
manage a number of playlists. Otherwise, all the tracks played randomly.
The selected volume and the current title is displayed on the TFT color display
screen. External devices can be housed in a lockable, waterproof and
ventilated storage room inside to the right where they are
completely protected from the elements. They are operated by the Multi-
Controller and the audio control panel.
The radio feature also includes Sirius XM Satellite Radio, available at
U.S. and Canada and offers a 24-channel memory. Channels can be selected by hand or with a scanning memory function
function that selects the station with better reception (Auto Store). The
The current channel is displayed on a color display. Speed-related volume
control function can be set at three different levels. In addition to the functions
provided by the Multi-controller, the audio system can also be operated by four buttons on the inner lining of the left (the audio control unit).
The navigation system integrated in the vehicle's electrical system.
The BMW Motorrad Navigator IV is available as an accessory integrates vehicle's electrical system, if a customer chooses a particular
Audio equipment features of the system or the preparation for the audio system, which is available ex works. This means that the most important functions, such as
Zoom or audio output can be used by the Multi-controller. So the driver's hands can remain on the handlebars - no need to use the touch screen.
Data is also exchanged between the navigation system and vehicle electrical system. For example, the navigation system automatically relays
Date and Time control panel or the nearest filling station suggests after a certain residual series was covered. TMC data in audio application platform enables dynamic routing to avoid traffic congestion.
Innovative design that increases the touring bike.
As the new high-end products from the BMW Motorrad bikes, the new
K and K 1600 GT 1600 GTL last one Supreme Being, and simply awesome characteristic appearance, arousing a desire to travel at first glance. Moreover,
The lines and surfaces and the visibility of the six-cylinder engine emerges a strong sense of dynamism with a perfect finish foot of the premium value and quality.
