General instructions

Equipment

When you ordered your BMW

motorcycle, you chose vari-

ous items of custom equip-

ment. This Rider's Manual

describes optional extras (OE)

offered by BMW and selec-

ted optional accessories (OA).

This explains why the manual

may also contain descriptions

of equipment which you have

not ordered. Please note, too,

that your motorcycle might

not be exactly as illustrated

in this manual on account of

country-specific differences.

If your BMW was supplied

with equipment not described

in this Rider's Manual, you will

find these features described

in separate manuals.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and

power ratings stated in the

Rider's Manual are quoted

to the standards and comply

with the tolerance require-

ments of the Deutsche Institut

für Normung e.V. Versions for

individual countries may differ.

Currency

The high safety and quality

standards of BMW motor-

cycles 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 BMW Motorrad entirely

rule out errors and omissions.

We hope you will appreciate

that no claims can be en-

tertained on the basis of the

data, illustrations or descrip-

tions in this manual. 1
