General instructions

Equipment

When you ordered your Maxi-

Scooter, you chose various

items of custom equipment.

This Rider's Manual describes

optional extras (OE) offered by

BMW and selected optional

accessories (OA). This explains

why the manual 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 differences.

If your Scooter was supplied

with equipment not described

in this Rider's Manual, you will

find these features described in

separate manuals.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and

power ratings stated in the

Rider's Manual are quoted to the

standards and comply with the

tolerance requirements of the

Deutsches Institut für Normung

e.V. (DIN). Versions for individual

countries may differ.

Currency

The high safety and quality

standards of BMW Scooters

are maintained by constant

development work on designs,

equipment and accessories.

Because of this, your vehicle

may differ from the information

supplied in the Rider's Manual.

Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely

rule out errors and omissions.

We hope you will appreciate that

no claims can be entertained on

the basis of the data, illustrations

or descriptions in this manual.
