Welcome to BMW

Dear BMW Motorrad friend,

With the BMW R nineT /5 an-

niversary model, BMW Motorrad

presents an edition that is remin-

iscent of the R75/5 of 1969 and

so revives the success story of

a classic series. What was said

back then holds true today: "The

motorcycle constantly challenges

the rider to engage in the ad-

venture of man's dominance of

machinery – directly, authentic-

ally. Wind, weather and the road

have to be constantly reassessed

and re-appraised – and mastered.

As does the machine." In this

spirit, we congratulate you on

your choice of this special-edition

model from BMW Motorrad and

welcome you to the community

of BMW riders. Familiarise your-

self with your new vehicle so that

you can ride it safely and confid-

ently in all traffic situations.

About these operating

instructions

Read these operating instructions

carefully before starting to use

your new BMW. They contain

important information on how to

operate the controls and how to

make the best possible use of all

your BMW's technical features.

In addition, they contain informa-

tion on maintenance and care to

help you maintain your vehicle's

reliability and safety, as well as its

value.

The record of the maintenance

work you have had performed on

your vehicle is a precondition for

generous treatment of goodwill

claims.

If the time comes to sell your

BMW, please remember to hand

over these operating instructions

to the new owner. They are an

important part of the vehicle.

Suggestions and criticism

If you have questions concern-

ing your vehicle, your authorised

BMW Motorrad dealer will gladly

provide advice and assistance.

We hope you will enjoy riding

your BMW and that all your jour-

neys will be pleasant and safe

BMW Motorrad.

Equipment

When you purchased your BMW

motorcycle, you chose a model

with individual equipment. These

operating instructions describe

the optional equipment (OE)

offered by BMW and selected

optional accessories (OA).

This explains why the manual

may also contain descriptions

of equipment that you might

not have selected. Please

note, too, that on account of

country-specific differences, your

motorcycle might not be exactly

as illustrated.

If your motorcycle contains

equipment that has not been

described, its description can be

found in a separate manual.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and

power ratings stated in the

operating instructions are quoted

to the standards and comply with

the tolerance requirements of the

Deutsches Institut für Normung

e.V. (DIN).

Technical data and specifications

in this rider's manual serve as

reference points. The vehicle-

specific data may deviate from

these, for example as a result of

selected optional equipment,

the national-market version or

country-specific measuring

procedures. Detailed values

can be taken from the vehicle

registration documents and

signs on the vehicle, or can be

obtained from your authorised

BMW Motorrad Retailer or

another qualified service partner

or specialist workshop. The

specifications in the vehicle

documents always have priority

over the information provided in

this rider's manual.

Currency

The high safety and quality

standards of BMW motorcycles

are maintained by constant

development work on designs,

equipment and accessories.

Because of this, your motorcycle

may differ from the information

supplied in these instructions.

Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely

rule out errors and omissions.

We hope you will appreciate that

no claims can be entertained on

the basis of the data, illustrations

or descriptions in these operating

instructions.

Data memory

General

Control units are installed in the

vehicle. Control units process

data that they receive, for ex-

ample, from vehicle sensors, or

that they generate themselves or

exchange between each other.

Some control units are required

for the vehicle to function safely

or provide assistance during rid-

ing, for example assistance sys-

tems. In addition, control units

enable comfort or infotainment

functions.

Information on data that has

been stored or exchanged can

be obtained from the manufac-

turer of the vehicle, for example

via a separate booklet.

Personal reference

Each vehicle is identified with a

clear vehicle identification num-

ber. Depending on the country,

the vehicle identification num-

ber, the number plate and the

corresponding authorities can

be referenced to ascertain the

vehicle owner. There are also

other ways to use data obtained

from the vehicle to trace the rider

or vehicle owner, for example

using the ConnectedDrive user

account.

Data protection rights

In accordance with applicable

data protection laws, vehicle

users have certain rights in re-

lation to the manufacturer of the

vehicle or in relation to compan-

ies which collect or process per-

sonal data.

Vehicle users have the right to

obtain full information at no cost

from persons or entities storing

personal data of the vehicle user.
