BMW Motorrad ser-
viceAdvanced 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 recommends that you
have the necessary work on
your motorcycle performed
either by an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer or by a work-
shop that operates to BMW
specifications and employs
suitably trained personnel.
Your authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer can provide inform-
ation on the specified Ser-
vice, Inspection and Annual
Inspection work needed. Have all maintenance and
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
any questions regarding your
motorcycle.
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 workrequired for your motorcycle
carried out regularly, prefer-
ably by your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer. Evidence
of regular maintenance is es-
sential for generous treatment
of claims submitted after the
warranty period has expired.
Certain signs of wear,
moreover, might 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 motor-
cycle 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.
