are maintained by constant

development work on designs,

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
