This Rider's Manual has been

designed to provide quick and ef-

ficient orientation. The quickest

way for you to find information

of your motorcycle, this informa-

tion has been provided in chapter

torcycle will be documented in

firming performance of scheduled

for generous handling of out-of-

ranty treatment.

Equipment

When you ordered your

BMW motorcycle, you chose

various custom equipment items.

This Rider's Manual describes

optional equipment (OE) offered

by BMW and selected 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 motorcycle features

equipment that is not described

here, you can find these features

described in a separate manual.

Technical Data

All dimensions, weights and per-

formance data contained this

Rider's Manual refer to the Ger-

man DIN standards and comply

with their tolerance specifications.

The technical data and speci-

fications in this Rider's Manual

serve as points of reference. The

vehicle-specific data may vary,

for instance due to the selected

optional equipment, national-mar-

ket version or country-specific

measuring procedures. Detailed

values can be obtained from the

registration documents and the

signs on the vehicle or from your

authorized BMW Motorrad re-

tailer or other qualified service

partner or specialist workshop.

The information on the vehicle

documents always takes prece-

dence over the information in this

Rider's Manual.

General instructions

Notice concerning

current status

The high safety and quality stan-

dards of BMW motorcycles are

maintained by consistent, on-

going development efforts em-

bracing their design, equipment

and accessories. For this reason,

some aspects of your motorcycle

may vary from the descriptions

in these operating instructions.

In addition, BMW Motorrad can-

not guarantee the total absence

of errors. We hope you will ap-

preciate that no claims can be

recognized based on the data, il-

lustrations or descriptions in this

manual.

Certificates and

operating permits

The certificates for the vehicle

and the official operating per-

mits for possible accessories

Data memory

General

Electronic control units are in-

stalled in the vehicle. Electronic

control units process data re-

ceived from vehicle sensors,

self-generated data or data ex-

changed between control units,

for example. Some control units

are required for safe vehicle op-

eration or provide driving assis-

tance, such as driver assistance

systems. Control units also make

comfort and infotainment func-

tions possible.

Information about the stored or

exchanged data can be obtained

from the vehicle manufacturer,

such as in the form of a separate

booklet.

Personal references

Every vehicle is marked with a

unique vehicle identification num-

ber. Depending on the country,

the vehicle owner can be iden-

tified using the vehicle identifi-

cation number and registration

number and the help of the rele-

vant authorities. There are also

other ways to trace data ob-

tained from the vehicle back to
