Equipment

When you ordered your BMW

motorcycle, you chose vari-

ous items of custom equip-

ment. This Rider's Manual

describes optional equipment

(OE) offered by BMW and se-

lected optional accessories

(OA). This explains why the

manual may also contain de-

scriptions of equipment which

you have not ordered. Please

note, too, that your motorcy-

cle might not be exactly as

illustrated in this manual on

account of country-specific

differences.

If your BMW is equipped with

options or accessories not

described in this Rider's Man-

ual, then this equipment is

described in a separate oper-

ating manual.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and

performance specifications

in the Rider's Manual refer to

the standards of the Deutsche

Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN)

and comply with its tolerance

specifications. Versions for

individual countries may differ.

Currentness of this

manual

The high safety and quality

standards of BMW motorcy-

cles are maintained by con-

stant development work on

designs, equipment and ac-

cessories. Because of this,

your motorcycle may differ

from the information supplied

in the Rider's Manual. Nor

can 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.
