BMW Service
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
Inspection 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 your author-
ised BMW motorcycle dealer’s
specially trained, expert per-
sonnel, and confirmed by an
entry in the Service and Techni-
cal Booklet.
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.

(24,000 miles...,
36,000 miles..., 48,000 miles)
BMW Annual Inspection
Certain items of maintenance
work depend on elapsed time
as well as the distance the
motorcycle has covered. These
tasks must therefore be per-
formed 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 Inspec-
tion must be performed.
LNote:
Every authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer has a fixed scale of
charges based on work times
and carefully calculated hourly
rates.
Fuel, lubricants and similar sub-
stances, filters, gaskets, etc.
are charged separately.

Maintenance and care
General instructions
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 motorcycle 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 motorcy-
cle in optimum working order.
Your authorised BMW motorcy-
cle dealer possesses the nec-
essary technical know-how and
employs company-trained staff.
They can make sure that your
motorcycle is always main-
tained in a fault-free technical
condition.
Remember: the safety and reli-
ability of your motorcycle are
the most important considera-
tions.
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-
shops.

Technical modifications
dWarning:
The data stored in the control
unit of the electronic engine
management system is the
result of extensive experi-
mental and testing work.
Tampering with the control
unit of the engine manage-
ment system represents an
increased safety risk for the
rider.
LNote:
Manipulation of the electronic
engine management system
voids the warranty in all
instances of damage conse-
quential to such manipulation.
There is only limited scope for
technical modifications to the
motorcycle.
Whenever you are planning
such modifications, comply
with all the legal requirements.
The motorcycle must not
infringe your national road-vehi-
cle construction and use regu-
lations.
Your authorised BMW motorcy-
cle dealer will gladly advise you
on technical requirements, the
manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions and the overall benefit
likely to be obtained.

genuine BMW parts and acces-
sories.
Genuine BMW parts are identi-
cal with those fitted to your
motorcycle as original equip-
ment.
BMW Motorrad refuses to
accept any liability whatsoever
for other-make spare parts and
accessories.
