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.
