Overview

We have placed great importance

on good orientation when using

this Rider's Manual. You'll find

special topics most quickly by

using the extensive index at the

end of the manual. You can find

a first overview of your motorcy-

cle in Chapter 2. All maintenance

and repair work carried out on

your vehicle will be documented

in Chapter 11. Proof of the main-

tenance work performed is a pre-

requisite for generous treatment

of claims.

When the time comes to sell

your BMW, remember to hand

over this Rider's Manual; it is an

important part of the motorcycle.

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 motorcycle comes with

equipment not described here,

you can find the descriptions in a

separate manual.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and out-

puts in the Rider's Manual relate

to the German DIN standards

and comply with their tolerance

specifications. Versions for indi-

vidual countries may differ.

Notice concerning

current status

The high safety and quality stan-

dards of BMW motorcycles are

maintained by constant develop-

ment work on design, equipment

and accessories. For this rea-

son, aspects of your motorcycle

may vary from the descriptions in

this Rider's Manual. In addition,

BMW Motorrad cannot guarantee

the total absence of errors. We

hope you will appreciate that no

claims can be recognized based

on the data, illustrations or de-

scriptions in this manual.
