Safety check
Checklist
Use the safety checklist –
before every journey
Please perform the safety
check accurately. If your motor-
cycle needs any routine mainte-
nance, you can then attend to it
before the journey starts
(
b Maintenance Instructions),
or, for example have it carried
out by your authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer.
This is to ensure that your
motorcycle corresponds with
road-vehicle use and safety
laws.
Your vehicle must be in perfect
technical order: this is a basic
prerequisite for your safety and
the safety of other road users.
For this reason, check the
details in the following sections
before you start the journey:
– Engine oil level
–Fuel level
– Positions of the handlebar- lever fittings
– Brake fluid level
– Clutch fluid level
–Brakes – Warning lights and telltale
lights
–Lights
– Shock-absorber setting and spring preload
– Condition of wheels and tyres, tread depth and tyre
pressures
– Load, gross weight
– Check at regular intervals as described in the following
sections
(each time you stop for refuel-
ling):
– Engine oil level (every second or third time
you stop for refuelling):
– Brake pads
If you encounter any problems
or difficulties, it is always best to
contact your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
He will provide the necessary
advice and assistance.
