General instructionsBMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
for your motorcycle that are ap-
proved by BMW for this purpose.
Genuine BMW parts and ac-
cessories and other products
which BMW has approved can
be obtained from your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer, together
with expert advice on their install-
ation and use.
These parts and products have
been tested by BMW for safety,
function and suitability. BMW
accepts product liability for them.
Conversely, BMW is unable to
accept any liability whatsoever
for parts and accessories which it
has not approved.BMW Motorrad cannot
assess each non-BMW
product to determine wheth-
er it can be used on or in con-
nection with BMW motorcycles without constituting a safety haz-
ard. Country-specific official au-
thorisation does not suffice as
assurance. Tests conducted by
these instances cannot make
provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW mo-
torcycles and, consequently, they
are not sufficient in some circum-
stances.
Use only parts and accessor-
ies approved by BMW for your
motorcycle.
Whenever you are planning
modifications, comply with all
the legal requirements. Make
sure that the motorcycle does
not infringe national road-vehicle
construction and use regulations.
Power socketRatingsThe supply to standard socket

off automatically if battery voltage
is low or the load exceeds the
maximum for the two sockets.Operating electrical
accessoriesYou can start using electrical ac-
cessories only when the ignition
is switched on. The accessory
remains operational if the ignition
is subsequently switched off. In
order to ensure that the drain on

tem is minimised, the supply to
the power socket is cut off ap-
proximately 15 minutes after the
ignition is switched off, and it is

ing the start procedure.Cable routingThe cables from the power sock-
et to the auxiliary device must be
