This Rider’s Manual describes

optional extras (OE) offered by

accessories (OA). This

explains why the manual may

also contain descriptions of

equipment which you have not

ordered. Country-specific

deviations from the motorcycle

illustrated are also possible.

If your BMW contains equip-

ment which is not described in

this Rider’s Manual, this will be

described in separate operat-

ing instructions.

Technical data

the tolerance requirements of

for individual countries may

differ.

Currency

The high safety and quality

standards of BMW motorcy-

cles are maintained by con-

stant development work on

designs, equipment and

accessories. Because of this,

your motorcycle may differ

from the information supplied

errors and omissions be

entirely ruled out. We hope

you will appreciate that no

claims can be entertained on

the basis of the data, illustra-

tions or descriptions in this

manual.

Introduction

BMW Service

Advanced technology requires

specially adapted methods of

maintenance and repair.

Incorrectly executed

maintenance and repair

work could result in subse-

quent damage and the safety

risks associated with this.

BMW recommends that all

appropriate work on your

motorcycle be carried out by

an authorised BMW motorcy-

cle dealer or by a workshop

which operates with appropri-

ately trained personnel in

accordance with

BMW specifications.c

Your authorised BMW motor-

cycle dealer can provide infor-

mation on the Service,

Inspection and Annual Inspec-

tion needed, or you can obtain

the information from the Inter-

net by visiting "www.bmw-

motorrad.com/maintenance".

Have all maintenance and

repair work carried out con-

firmed in the chapter "Service"

(b140) in this manual.

Your authorised BMW motor-

cycle dealer is supplied with all

the latest technical information

and therefore possesses the

necessary technical know-

how.

We therefore recommend that

you consult your authorised

BMW motorcycle dealer for all

questions concerning the

motorcycle.
