Equipment
When you ordered your
BMW motorcycle, you chose
various custom equipment items.
These Operating Instructions
describe 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 in these
Operating Instructions refer to
the German DIN standards and
comply with their tolerance spec-
ifications.
The technical data and speci-
fications in these Operating In-
structions serve as points of
reference. The vehicle-specific
data may vary, for instance due
to the selected optional equip-
ment, national-market version or
country-specific measuring pro-
cedures. Detailed values can be
obtained from the registration
documents and the signs on the
vehicle or from your authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer or other
qualified service partner or spe-
cialist workshop. The information
on the vehicle documents always
takes precedence over the in-
formation in these Operating In-
structions.

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 this 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.

Data memory
General information
Control units are installed in the
vehicle. Control units process
data received from vehicle sen-
sors, self-generated data or data
exchanged between control units,
for example. Some control units
are required for safe vehicle op-
eration or provide riding assis-
tance, such as rider 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 license plate
and with the help of the relevant
authorities. There are also other
ways to trace data obtained from
the vehicle back to the rider or
vehicle owner, such as via the
used ConnectedDrive Account.
