General instructions
CAUTION
Use of other-make products
Safety risk
BMW Motorrad cannot exam-
ine or test each product of out-
side origin to ensure that it can
be used on or in connection
with BMW vehicles without
constituting a safety hazard.
Country-specific official author-
isation does not suffice as as-
surance. Tests conducted by
these instances cannot make
provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW
vehicles and, consequently,
they are not sufficient in some
circumstances.
Use only parts and accessor-
ies approved by BMW for your
vehicle.
BMW has conducted extens-
ive testing of the parts and ac-
cessory products to establish
that they are safe, functional and
suitable. Consequently, BMW
accepts responsibility for the
products. BMW accepts no li-
ability whatsoever for parts and
accessories that it has not ap-
proved.
All modifications must be in com-
pliance with legal requirements.
Make sure that the vehicle does
not infringe the national road-
vehicle construction and use reg-
ulations applicable in your coun-
try.
Your BMW Motorrad dealer can
offer expert advice on the choice
of genuine BMW parts, accessor-
ies and other products.
