serviceAdvanced technology
requires specially adapted
methods of maintenance and
repair.If maintenance and re-
pair work is performed
inexpertly, it could result in
consequential damage and
thus constitute a safety risk.
BMW Motorrad recommends
you to have all the associated
work on your motorcycle car-
ried out by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Your authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer can provide inform-
ation on the specified Ser-
vice, Inspection and Annual
Inspection work needed.

repair work carried out confirmed in the "Service"
chapter in this manual.
Authorised BMW Motorrad
dealers are supplied with the
latest technical information
and have the necessary tech-
nical know-how. BMW Mo-
torrad recommends that you
contact your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer if you have
questions regarding your mo-
torcycle.
BMW Motorrad service
qualityAlong with its reputation for
engineering quality and high
reliability, BMW Motorrad is a
byword for excellent quality of
service.
To ensure that your BMW
is always in optimum condi-
tion, we recommend that you
have the maintenance work
required for your motorcycle
carried out regularly, prefer-ably by your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer. Evidence of
regular maintenance is essen-
tial for generous treatment of
goodwill claims.
Certain signs of wear,
moreover, may otherwise not
be noticed until it is too late
to put them right at moderate
cost. Your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer's mechanics
know every detail of your
motorcycle and can take
remedial action if necessary
before minor faults develop
into serious problems. By
having the necessary repairs
done properly and in good
time, you save time and
money in the long run.
