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 attend to it
before the journey starts
(
b Maintenance Instructions),
or have it carried out by your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. This is to ensure that your
motorcycle complies with road-
vehicle use and safety laws.
A motorcycle in perfect techni-
cal condition is essential for
your safety and that of other
road users.

Reliability
Regular visits to the workshop
for routine servicing are
strongly recommended even
after the warranty period has
expired. They are the only way
to be genuinely certain that your
BMW is being kept in perfect
working order.
For generous treatment of
claims submitted after the war-
ranty period has expired, evi-
dence of regular maintenance
by an authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer is essential.Certain signs of wear, more-
over, may otherwise not be
noticed until it is too late to put
them right at moderate cost.
The authorised BMW motorcy-
cle dealer knows every detail of
your motorcycle and can take
remedial action if necessary
before minor faults develop into
more serious ones. By having
the necessary repairs done
properly and in good time, you
save time and money in the
long run.
…serviceYou can obtain accurate advice
in all cases, and make appoint-
ments with a firm completion
deadline which we will comply
with punctually. But the most
gratifying feeling of all is that
your BMW is in genuinely good
shape when it leaves the
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer's workshop – and above
all, safe.
