For safety reasons and to main-
tain the value of your motorcy-
cle, regular maintenance
intervals have been laid down.
Always keep to the specified
maintenance intervals. This is
the only way to ensure that war-
ranty claims are not invalidated.
The contents of the mainte-
nance schedules are subject to
change, for reasons of safety,
due to modifications in, among
other things, materials.
Your authorised BMW motorcy-
cle dealer can provide informa-
tion on the currently specified
Service, Inspection and Annual
Service work needed.
Important:
BMW refuses to accept liability
for damage or consequential
damage due to repairs or serv-
ice work carried out by other
than BMW-authorised work-
shops.
Consequently, we advise you to
have service and maintenance
work carried out by your author-
ised BMW motorcycle dealer's
specially trained, expert per-
sonnel, and confirmed by an
entry in the Maintenance
Instructions.
Authorised BMW motorcycle
dealers are supplied with the
latest technical information and
have the necessary technical
know-how and specially trained
staff.
Please do not hesitate to con-
tact your authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer on all mat-
ters concerning your motorcy-
cle.
Authorised BMW motorcycle
dealers are fully informed about
all aspects of your motorcycle
and will gladly advise and assist
you.
Best wishes,
BMW Motorrad

BMW Service
For your own safety, use only
genuine BMW spare parts and
accessories approved by
BMW.
If you choose genuine BMW
accessories and spare parts
that have been tested and
approved, you can be sure that
BMW has carried out the
appropriate tests to confirm
their suitability for use on your
motorcycle. BMW accepts
product liability only for these
products.
Note, however, that BMW is
unable to accept liability for
spare parts and accessories
which it has not approved.
BMW cannot assess every sin-
gle product of outside origin in
order to decide whether it can
be used on or with a BMW vehi-
cle without constituting a safety
hazard.
Nor is approval by an official
technical inspection authority,
or even the granting of a gen-
eral operating permit necessar-
ily a sufficient guarantee, since
these test procedures are not
always adequate.
Genuine BMW spare parts,
accessories and other products
which BMW has approved can
be obtained from all authorised
BMW motorcycle dealers,
together with expert advice on
their installation and use.

BMW Pre-delivery Check
Your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer conducts the BMW pre-
delivery check before handing
over the motorcycle to you.
BMW Running-in Check
The BMW running-in check has
to be performed when the
motorcycle has covered
between 500 km and 1,200 km.
BMW Service
The BMW service is carried
out once a year; the extent of
servicing can vary, depending
on the age of the motorcycle
and the distance it has covered.
Your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer confirms that the service
work has been carried out and
enters the date when the next
service is due.
Riders who cover long dis-
tances in a year might have to
bring in their motorcycle for
annual service before the next
scheduled date. It is to allow
for these cases that a maximum
odometer reading is entered
as well in the confirmation of
service. Servicing has to
be brought forward if this
odometer reading is reached
before the next scheduled date
for the annual service.
