Arrive safely
Know-how …In recent years, motorcycles' technical
design features have become more and
more sophisticated.
Motronic, electronic ignition, integral
brakes, the catalytic converter or the
use of four valves per cylinder is clear
signs that far more than basic technical
knowledge may be needed to solve
certain problems. In addition, high-
tech materials are increasingly taking
the place of conven tional ones, which
again calls for thorough and expert
knowledge if they are to be handled
correctly during repair work.
To be sure of achieving the necessary
standard, it is always advisable to con-
sult your authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. The authorised BMW motor-cycle
dealer employs staff that attends regu-
lar and comprehensive training
courses.
Authorised BMW motorcycle dealers
also receive all the current technical
information and are therefore fully
aware of the latest developments.
… technical features …The authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer's staff has the
experience and all the neces-
sary facts at its disposal when it
comes to solving problems
quickly and effectively. Work-
shops are equipped with the
latest technical facilities, for
example the sp
ecial tools
developed by BMW such as the
BMW diagnosis system or
exhaust emissions tester.
