Equipment
When purchasing your BMW mo-

individual equipment. This rider's
manual describes optional equip-
ment (OE) and selected optional
accessories (OA) provided by
BMW. Please make allowance
for the fact that some equip-
ment specifications may be de-
scribed that you have not selec-
ted. Equally, country-specific de-
viations to the motorcycle shown
are also possible.
If your motorcycle has equipment
that is not described, you will find
the relevant description in a sep-
arate manual.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and
power outputs in the rider's
manual refer to the German
standard DIN (Deutsches Institut
für Normung e. V.) and comply
with its specified tolerances.
Technical data and specifications
in this rider's manual serve as
reference points. The vehicle-
specific data may deviate from
these, for example as a result of
selected optional equipment,
the national-market version or
country-specific measuring
procedures. Detailed values
can be taken from the vehicle
registration documents and
signs on the vehicle, or can be
obtained from your authorised
BMW Motorrad Retailer or
another qualified service partner
or specialist workshop. The
specifications in the vehicle
documents always have priority
over the information provided in
this rider's manual.

Currentness
The high safety and quality level
of BMW motorcycles is ensured
by constant further development
in the areas of design, equipment
and accessories. This may res-
ult in deviations between these

not be completely excluded by
BMW Motorrad. Please therefore
understand that we do not ac-
cept any liability for claims arising
from incorrect information, draw-
ings and descriptions.

Data memory
General
Control units are installed in the
vehicle. Control units process
data that they receive, for ex-
ample, from vehicle sensors, or
that they generate themselves or
exchange between each other.
Some control units are required
for the vehicle to function safely
or provide assistance during rid-
ing, for example assistance sys-
tems. In addition, control units
enable comfort or infotainment
functions.
Information on data that has
been stored or exchanged can
be obtained from the manufac-
turer of the vehicle, for example
via a separate booklet.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is identified with a
clear vehicle identification num-
ber. Depending on the country,
the vehicle identification num-
ber, the number plate and the
corresponding authorities can
be referenced to ascertain the
vehicle owner. There are also
other ways to use data obtained
from the vehicle to trace the rider
or vehicle owner, for example
