For safety reasons and to main-
tain the value of your vehicle,
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 maintenance
schedules can change for
safety reasons, owing to
changes of materials, for exam-
ple.
Your authorised BMW dealer
can provide details of the cur-
rently 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.
Have service and inspection
work carried out by specialists,
preferably by your authorised
BMW dealer's specially trained,
expert personnel, and con-
firmed by an entry in the Service
and Technical Booklet.
Authorised BMW dealers are
supplied with the latest techni-
cal information and have the
necessary technical know-how
and specially trained staff.
If you have any questions about
your vehicle, it is always best to
contact your authorised BMW
dealer.
Authorised BMW dealers are
fully informed about all aspects
of your vehicle and will gladly
advise and assist you.
Best wishes,
BMW Motorrad

For your own safety, use only
genuine BMW spare parts and
accessories approved by
BMW.
If you choose genuine accesso-
ries and spare parts that have
been tested and approved by
BMW, you can be sure that the
appropriate tests have been
carried out to confirm their suit-
ability for use on your vehicle.
BMW accepts full liability for
these products.
Note however that BMW is
unable to accept any liability
for spare parts and accesso-
ries 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 dealers, together with
expert advice on their installa-
tion and use.

into Service, Inspection and
Annual Service.

(30000 km, 45000 km…/

BMW Annual Service
Certain items of maintenance
work depend on elapsed time
as well as the distance the vehi-
cle has covered. They should
therefore be carried out at least
once a year (e. g. changing the
brake fluid).
If these items cannot be carried
out during a Service or an
Inspection, an Annual Service
must be performed.
LNote:
Every authorised BMW dealer
has a fixed scale of charges
based on work times and care-
fully calculated hourly rates.
Fuel, lubricants and similar sub-
stances, filters, gaskets etc. are
charged separately.

Maintenance and care
Your vehicle is equipped with a
digital electronic engine man-
agement system (BMS) and a
high-output ignition system.
dWarning:
When the engine is running or
the ignition is switched on, do
not touch electrically live
components, terminals or
wiring.
– Risk of fatal accident.
Work on the electrical system
only when the circuit has
been interrupted (switch off
ignition and lights). For great-
er safety, disconnect and in-
sulate the negative battery
lead.
If you intend to perform the
maintenance and general care
work described in the following
section yourself, you must pos-
sess the necessary knowledge
of technical matters and
mechanical skills.
Your vehicle is built to high
technological standards.
Special tools and purpose-
designed diagnosis and testing
equipment, together with the
appropriate knowledge, are
needed to keep your vehicle in
optimum working order.

Maintenance and care
General instructions
Your BMW dealer has the nec-
essary technical know-how and
specially trained mechanics.
He can guarantee that your
vehicle is always maintained in
a fault-free technical condition.
Remember: the safety and reli-
ability of your vehicle are the
most important considerations.
You should therefore not
attempt any complex repair or
maintenance tasks.
Keep to the specified Inspec-
tion and Service intervals.
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-

Technical modifications
dWarning:
The data stored in the BMW
engine management system
(BMS) control unit derive from
exhaustive tests and trials.
Consequently, manipulation
of the BMW engine manage-
ment system (BMS) control
unit invariably means an in-
creased risk to your safety on
the road.
LNote:
Manipulation of the BMW en-
gine management system
(BMS) control unit voids the
warranty.
Technical modifications are
only permitted to a limited
extent.
If you are planning such modifi-
cations, comply with all the
legal requirements. The vehicle
must not infringe your national
road-vehicle construction and
use regulations.
Your authorised BMW dealer
will gladly advise you on techni-
cal requirements, the manufac-
turer's recommendations and
the overall benefit likely to be
obtained.
Genuine BMW parts
For reasons of safety, use only
genuine BMW parts and acces-
sories.
Genuine BMW parts are identi-
cal with those fitted to your
BMW C1 as original equipment.
BMW Motorrad guarantees
against material defects and
poor workmanship, but cannot
accept any liability for spare
parts or accessories of outside
origin.
