Regular visits to the workshop
for routine servicing are
strongly recommended even
after the warranty period has
elapsed. They are the only way
to be genuinely certain that your
BMW motorcycle is being kept
in perfect working order.
For goodwill work after the war-
ranty period has expired, evi-
dence of regular maintenance
by an authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer is essential.
Certain signs of wear may not
otherwise be noticed until it is
too late to put them right at
moderate cost.
The staff in the authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer or
workshop know every detail of
your motorcycle and can take
remedial action if necessary
before minor faults develop into
serious problems. By having the necessary repairs
done properly and in good time,
you save time and money in the
long run.
…serviceYou can obtain accurate advice
in all cases, and make appoint-
ments with a firm completion
deadline which we will comply
with punctually. But the most
gratifying feeling of all is that
your BMW is in genuinely good
shape when it leaves the
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer’s workshop – and above
all, safe.
Reliable operation

Concluding thoughts
Now it is your turn. Regular care is important, with all functions checked
before the journey starts.
 Use only genuine BMW accessories. They comply
with all the relevant safety
requirements and are per-
fectly matched to your BMW
 Have your motorcycle serviced only by the trained,
expert personnel at your local
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer
 Do not under any circum- stances install unapproved
extras: the use of unapproved
accessories constitutes a
safety risk and voids your
insurance and the motor-
cycle’s permit
 It is always advisable to have technical modifications car-
ried out only by an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer or
workshop
