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 maintenance
schedules can change for
safety reasons, owing to
changes of materials, for
example.
Your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer can provide details
of the currently specified Serv-
ice, 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.
Consequently, we recommend
that you have service work car-
ried out by the specially trained
experts at your BMW motorcy-
cle dealer, and have this con-
firmed in the Maintenance
Instructions.
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 motor-
cycle.
Authorised BMW motorcycle
dealers are fully informed about
all aspects of your motorcycle
and will gladly advise and assist
you.
Best wishes,
BMW Motorrad

For your own safety, use
spare parts and accessories
that have been 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 motor-
cycle. BMW accepts full liability
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 does an official inspection
certificate or permit (such as
the General Operating Permit)
represent a sufficient guarantee
in all cases, as the scope of
testing may be inadequate.
Genuine BMW spare parts,
BMW accessories and other
products approved by BMW
can be obtained from all author-
ised BMW motorcycle dealers,
together with full advice and
recommendations for their use.

Maintenance work is divided up
into Service, Inspection and
Annual Service.
BMW Inspection
1,000 km
BMW Running-in Check after
the first 1,000 km.
BMW Service
After the first 10,000 km
and every further 20,000 km
(30,000 km..., 50,000 km...,
70,000 km...)
BMW Inspection
After the first 20,000 km
and every further 20,000 km
(40,000 km…, 60,000 km…,
80,000 km…)
BMW Annual Service
Certain items of maintenance
work depend on elapsed time
as well as the distance the
motorcycle has covered. They
should therefore be carried out
at least once a year (e.g. renew-
ing the brake fluid).
If these items cannot be carried
out during a Service or an
Inspection, an Annual Service
must be performed.
LNote:
Every BMW motorcycle 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.
