Introductioni6
BMW Service Advanced technology requires
specially adapted methods of
maintenance and repair.
Incorrectly executed

work could result in subse-
quent damage and the safety
risks associated with this.

appropriate work on your
motorcycle be carried out by
an authorised BMW motorcy-
cle dealer or by a workshop
which operates with appropri-
ately trained personnel in
accordance with
BMW specifications.c
Your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer can provide infor-
mation on the Service,
Inspection and Annual Inspec-
tion needed, or you can obtain the information from the Inter-
net by visiting "www.bmw-
motorrad.com/maintenance".
Have all maintenance and
repair work carried out con-
firmed in the chapter "Service"
(
b 140) in this manual.
Your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer is supplied with all
the latest technical information
and therefore possesses the
necessary technical know-
how.
We therefore recommend that
you consult your authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer for all
questions concerning the
motorcycle.
