General instructions

Equipment

When you ordered your Maxi-

Scooter, you chose various items

of custom equipment. This Rid-

er'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 vehicle might not be exactly

as illustrated in this manual on

account of country-specific differ-

ences.

If your Scooter 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 per-

formance data contained this

Rider's Manual refer to the Ger-

man DIN standards and comply

with their tolerance specifications.

Versions for individual countries

may differ.

Notice concerning

current status

The high safety and quality

standards of BMW Scooters

are maintained by constant

development work on designs,

equipment and accessories.

Because of this, your motorcycle

may differ from the information

supplied in the Rider's Manual. In

addition, BMW Motorrad cannot

guarantee the total absence

of errors. We hope you will

appreciate that no claims can be

recognized based on the data,

illustrations or descriptions in this

manual.
