BMW Annual Service
Certain items of maintenance
work depend on elapsed time
as well as the distance the
motorcycle has covered. They
should therefore be carried out
at least once a year (e.g. chang-
ing the brake fluid).
If these items cannot be carried
out during a Service or an
Inspection, an Annual Service
must be performed.
L Note:
Every BMW Motorrad dealer
has a fixed scale of charges
based on work times and care-
fully calculated hourly rates.
Fuel, lubricants and similar sub-
stances, filters, gaskets etc. are
charged separately.
