Notes
The Maintenance chapter de-
scribes straightforward proced-
ures for checking and replacing
certain wear parts.
Special tightening torques are lis-
ted as applicable. The tightening
torques for the threaded fasten-
ers on your motorcycle are listed
in the section entitled "Technical
data".
You will find information on more
extensive maintenance and re-
pair work in the Repair Manual
on DVD/CD-ROM (RepROM) for
your motorcycle, which is avail-
able from your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Some of the work calls for spe-
cial tools and a thorough know-
ledge of motorcycles. If you
are in doubt consult a specialist
workshop, preferably your author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Checking engine oil level
The engine can seize if the
oil level is low, and this can
lead to accidents.
Always make sure that the oil
level is correct.
The oil level varies with the
temperature of the oil. The
higher the temperature, the high-
er the level of oil in the sump.
Checking the oil level with the
engine cold or after no more than
a short ride will lead to misinter-
pretation; this in turn, means that
the engine will be operated with
the incorrect quantity of oil.
In order to ensure that the en-
gine oil level is read correctly,
check the oil level only after a
lengthy trip.
