General instructions

Equipment

When you ordered your BMW

motorcycle, you chose various

items of custom equipment. This

Rider's Manual describes optional

equipment (OE) offered by BMW

and selected optional accessories

(OA). This explains why the man-

ual may also contain descriptions

of equipment which you have not

ordered. Please note, too, that

your motorcycle might not be ex-

actly as illustrated in this manual

on account of country-specific

differences.

If your BMW is equipped with

options or accessories not de-

scribed in this Rider's Manual,

then this equipment is described

in separate operating instructions.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and out-

puts in the Rider's Manual refer

to the Deutsches Institut für Nor-

mung e. V. (DIN) and comply with

its tolerance regulations. Ver-

sions for individual countries may

differ.

Notice concerning

current status

The high safety and quality stan-

dards of BMW motorcycles are

maintained by consistent, on-

going development efforts em-

bracing their design, equipment

and accessories. For this rea-

son, aspects of your motorcycle

may vary from the descriptions

in this Operating instructions. In

addition, BMW Motorrad can-

not guarantee the total absence

of errors. We hope you will ap-

preciate that no claims can be

recognized based on the data, il-

lustrations or descriptions in this

manual.
