For safety reasons and to main-
tain the value of your vehicle,
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 maintenance
schedules can change for
safety reasons, owing to
changes of materials, for exam-
ple.
Your authorised BMW dealer
can provide details of the cur-
rently specified Service,
Inspection and Annual Service
work needed.
Important:
BMW refuses to accept liability
for damage or consequential
damage due to repairs or serv-
ice work carried out by other
than BMW-authorised work-
shops.
Have service and inspection
work carried out by specialists,
preferably by your authorised
BMW dealer's specially trained,
expert personnel, and con-
firmed by an entry in the Service
and Technical Booklet.
Authorised BMW dealers are
supplied with the latest techni-
cal information and have the
necessary technical know-how
and specially trained staff.
If you have any questions about
your vehicle, it is always best to
contact your authorised BMW
dealer.
Authorised BMW dealers are
fully informed about all aspects
of your vehicle and will gladly
advise and assist you.
Best wishes,
BMW Motorrad

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
BMW, you can be sure that the
appropriate tests have been
carried out to confirm their suit-
ability for use on your vehicle.
BMW accepts full liability for
these products.
Note however that BMW is
unable to accept any liability
for spare parts and accesso-
ries 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 dealers, together with
expert advice on their installa-
tion and use.

BMW Annual Service
Certain items of maintenance
work depend on elapsed time
as well as the distance the vehi-
cle has covered. They should
therefore be carried out at least
once a year (e. g. changing the
brake fluid).
If these items cannot be carried
out during a Service or an
Inspection, an Annual Service
must be performed.
LNote:
Every authorised BMW dealer
has a fixed scale of charges
based on work times and care-
fully calculated hourly rates.
Fuel, lubricants and similar sub-
stances, filters, gaskets etc. are
charged separately.
