Equipment
When you purchased your BMW
motorcycle, you chose a model
with individual equipment. These
operating instructions describe
the optional equipment (OE)
offered by BMW and selected
optional accessories (OA).
This explains why the manual
may also contain descriptions
of equipment that you might
not have selected. Please
note, too, that on account of
country-specific differences, your
motorcycle might not be exactly
as illustrated.
If your motorcycle contains
equipment that has not been
described, its description can be
found in a separate manual.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and
power ratings stated in the
operating instructions are quoted
to the standards and comply with
the tolerance requirements of the
Deutsches Institut für Normung
e.V. (DIN).
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

Currency
The high safety and quality
standards of BMW motorcycles
are maintained by constant
development work on designs,
equipment and accessories.
Because of this, your motorcycle
may differ from the information
supplied in the Rider's Manual.
Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely
rule out errors and omissions.
We hope you will appreciate that
no claims can be entertained on
the basis of the data, illustrations
or descriptions in these operating
instructions.
