BMW Motorrad serviceAdvanced technology requires
specially adapted methods of
maintenance and repair.If maintenance and re-
pair work is performed in-
expertly, it could result in con-
sequential damage and thus con-
stitute a safety risk.
BMW Motorrad recommends you
to have all the associated work
on your motorcycle carried out
by a specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer.
Your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer can provide information on
BMW services and the work un-
dertaken as part of each service.

work carried out confirmed in the
"Service" chapter in this manual.
Authorised BMW Motorrad deal-
ers are supplied with the latest
technical information and have the necessary technical know-
how. BMW Motorrad recom-
mends that you contact your au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer
if you have questions regarding
your motorcycle.
BMW Motorrad service
qualityAlong with its reputation for en-
gineering quality and high reliab-
ility, BMW Motorrad is a byword
for excellent quality of service.
To ensure that your BMW is al-
ways in optimum condition, BMW
Motorrad recommends that you
have the maintenance work re-
quired for your motorcycle car-
ried out regularly, preferably by
your authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer. For generous treat-
ment of claims submitted after
the warranty period has expired,
evidence of regular maintenance
is essential.
Certain signs of wear, moreover,
may otherwise not be noticed
until it is too late to put them
right at moderate cost. Your au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer's
mechanics know every detail of
your motorcycle and can take re-
medial action if necessary before
minor faults develop into serious
problems. By having the neces-
sary repairs done properly and
in good time, you save time and
money in the long run.

Maintenance workBMW Pre-delivery CheckYour authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer conducts the BMW pre-
delivery check before handing
over the motorcycle to you.BMW Running-in CheckThe BMW running-in check has
to be performed when the mo-
torcycle has covered between
500 km and 1,200 kmBMW ServiceThe BMW Service is carried out
once a year; the extent of servi-
cing can vary, depending on the
age of the motorcycle and the
distance it has covered. Your au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer
confirms that the service work
has been carried out and enters
the date when the next service
will be due.
Riders who cover long distances
in a year might have to bring in
their motorcycles for service be-
fore the next scheduled date. It
is to allow for these cases that
a maximum odometer reading is
entered as well in the confirma-
tion of service. Servicing has to
be brought forward if this odo-
meter reading is reached before
the next scheduled date for the
annual service.
The service-due indicator in the
multifunction display reminds you
about one month or 1000 km
in advance when the time for a
service is approaching, on the
basis of the programmed values.
