Checking belt tension
e Attention:
Belt tension must be checked
every 10,000 km (6,000 miles)
by a specialist workshop, pref-
erably an authorised BMW mo-
torcycle dealer.
Check the drive belt for dam-
age after riding on unsur-
faced tracks or in bad road
conditions.
If necessary consult a specialist
workshop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW motorcycle deal-
er.
L Note:
When new, the inner face of the
drive belt has a thin coating of
polyethylene. This coating
wears off during the running-in
phase. This process is normal
and is not indicative of prema-
ture belt wear.
