Equipment

manual may also contain de-
scriptions of equipment which
you have not ordered. Please
note, too, that your motorcy-
cle might not be exactly as
illustrated in this manual on
account of country-specific
differences.
If your BMW is equipped with
options or accessories not
described in this Rider's Man-
ual, then this equipment is
described in a separate oper-
ating manual.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and
performance specifications
in the Rider's Manual refer to
the standards of the Deutsche
Institut für Normung e. V.
(DIN) and comply with its tol-
erance specifications. Ver-
sions for individual countries
may differ.
Currentness of this
manual
The high safety and quality
standards of BMW motorcy-
cles are maintained by con-
stant development work on
designs, equipment and ac-
cessories. Because of this,
your motorcycle may differ
from the information supplied
in the Rider's Manual. In ad-
dition, BMW Motorrad cannot
guarantee the total absence
of errors. We hope you will
appreciate that no claims can
be entertained on the basis of
the data, illustrations or de-
scriptions in this manual.
