Safety check
Use the safety checklist –
before every journey
Please perform the safety
check accurately. If your motor-
cycle needs any routine mainte-
nance, you can then attend to it
before the journey starts
(
b Maintenance Instructions),
or, for example have it carried
out by your authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer. This is to ensure that your
motorcycle corresponds with
road-vehicle use and safety
laws.
A motorcycle in perfect techni-
cal condition is essential for
your safety and that of other
road users.
