BMW Motorrad F 800 GS 2013, Rider'S Manual, Page: 82 / 166

General instructions
BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
for your motorcycle that are ap-
proved by BMW for this purpose.
Your BMW Motorrad authorised
dealer will offer you professional
advice in your selection of ori-
ginal BMW parts and accessories
and other products approved by
BMW.
These parts and products have
been tested by BMW for safety,
function and suitability. BMW
accepts product liability for them.
BMW is unable to accept any li-
ability whatsoever for parts and
accessories which it has not ap-
proved.
Also bear in mind the information
on the effect of wheel size on
chassis and suspension control
systems (
106).
BMW Motorrad cannot
examine or test each
product of outside origin to
ensure that it can be used on
or in connection with BMW
motorcycles without constituting
a safety hazard. Country-specific
official authorisation does not
suffice as assurance. Tests
conducted by these instances
cannot make provision for all
operating conditions experienced
by BMW motorcycles and,
consequently, they are not
sufficient in some circumstances.
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 vehicle does not
infringe the national road-vehicle
construction and use regulations
applicable in your country.

accessories
