BMW Service

For safety reasons and to main-

tain the value of your motorcy-

cle, regular maintenance

intervals have been laid down.

Always keep to the specified

maintenance intervals. This is

the only way to ensure that war-

ranty claims are not invalidated.

The contents of the mainte-

nance schedules are subject to

change, for reasons of safety,

due to modifications in, among

other things, materials.

Your authorised BMW motorcy-

cle dealer is best placed to pro-

vide information on the

currently specified Service, In-

spection and Annual Service

work needed.

Important:

BMW refuses to accept liability

for damage or consequential

damage due to repairs or

service work carried out by

other than BMW-authorised

workshops.

Consequently, we advise you to

have service and inspection

work carried out by your author-

ised BMW motorcycle dealer’s

specially trained, expert per-

sonnel, and confirmed by an

entry in the Maintenance

Instructions.

Authorised BMW motorcycle

dealers are supplied with the

latest technical information and

have the necessary technical

know-how and specially trained

staff.

Please do not hesitate to

contact your authorised BMW

motorcycle dealer on all

matters concerning your

motorcycle.

Authorised BMW motorcycle

dealers are fully informed about

all aspects of your motorcycle

and will gladly advise and assist

you.

Best wishes,

BMW Motorrad

Dear motorcycle enthusiast,

20rtbkg4.book Seite 1 Dienstag, 15. Juni 2004 11:43 11

BMW Service

For your own safety, use only

genuine BMW spare parts and

accessories approved by

BMW.

If you choose genuine accesso-

ries and spare parts that have

been tested and approved by

the manufacturer, you can be

sure that BMW has carried out

the appropriate tests to confirm

their suitability for use on your

motorcycle. BMW accepts full

liability for these products.

Note, however, that BMW is

unable to accept liability for

spare parts and accessories

which it has not approved.

BMW cannot assess every sin-

gle product of outside origin in

order to decide whether it can

be used on or with a BMW vehi-

cle without constituting a safety

hazard.

Nor is approval by an official

technical inspection authority,

or even the granting of a gen-

eral operating permit necessar-

ily a sufficient guarantee, since

these test procedures are not

always adequate.

Genuine BMW spare parts,

accessories and other products

which BMW has approved can

be obtained from all authorised

BMW motorcycle dealers,

together with expert advice on

their installation and use.

BMW Service

Maintenance work is divided up

into Service, Inspection and

Annual Inspection.

BMW Inspection, 1,000 km

BMW Running-in Check after the

first 1,000 km.

BMW Service

After the first 10,000 km and

every further 20,000 km

(30,000 km…, 50,000 km …,

70,000 km…)

BMW Inspection

After the first 20,000 km and

every further 20,000 km

(40,000 km…, 60,000 km …,

80,000 km …)

BMW Annual Inspection

Certain items of maintenance

work depend on elapsed time as

well as the distance the motorcy-

cle has covered. These tasks

must therefore be performed at

least one a year (e.g. changing

the brake fluid).

If these items cannot be carried

out during a Service or an Inspec-

tion, an Annual Inspection must

be performed.

LNote:

Every authorised BMW motor-

cycle dealer has a fixed scale of

charges based on work times

and carefully calculated hourly

rates. Fuel, lubricants and simi-

lar substances, filters, gaskets

etc. are charged separately.
