Equipment

When you ordered your BMW

motorcycle, you chose various

items of custom equipment. This

Rider's Manual describes optional

equipment (OE) offered by BMW

and selected optional accessories

(OA). This explains why the man-

ual may also contain descriptions

of equipment which you have not

ordered. Please note, too, that

your motorcycle might not be ex-

actly as illustrated in this manual

on account of country-specific

differences.

If your BMW is equipped with

options or accessories not de-

scribed in this Rider's Manual,

then this equipment is described

in separate operating instructions.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and out-

puts in the Rider's Manual refer

to the Deutsches Institut für Nor-

mung e. V. (DIN) and comply with

its tolerance regulations. Ver-

sions for individual countries may

differ.

Currentness of this

manual

The high safety and quality stan-

dards of BMW motorcycles are

maintained by constant devel-

opment work on designs, equip-

ment and accessories. Because

of this, your motorcycle may dif-

fer from the information supplied

in the Rider's Manual. In addition,

BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee

the total absence of errors. We

hope you will appreciate that no

claims can be entertained on the

basis of the data, illustrations or

descriptions in this manual.
