development work on designs,

Because of this, your motorcycle
may differ from the information
supplied in the 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 descriptions in this
