In this manual, we have compiled advice for you about handling your
bike as well as many interesting ideas about bike technology, its
maintenance and care. We recommend that you carefully read this
manual. It is worth your while, even if you’ve spent your whole life

you should carefully read the chapter called
«Before your FIRST
ride»
.
In order to enjoy your ride, before sitting on the bike, you should
perform the minimal operational check described in the chapter
called
«Before starting ALL rides»
. This manual cannot provide
you with all the knowledge of a bike mechanic. That is why this
manual is centered on the bike that you have just acquired and the
common parts, and also shows you the most important warnings
and advice.
When you do maintenance work and exhaustive repairs, you should
have in mind at all times that the instructions and advice apply
exclusively to this bike.
This advice does not apply to all bikes. The described tasks do not
entirely apply to the multitude of models and variants. We ask that at
all times you take the supplier instructions into account for parts that
your BMW garage has sent you.
Keep in mind that the instructions may be followed by anyone who
has the necessary experience or skill. Some tasks may require
special additional tools or additional instructions.
Before getting started, we would like to point out a few things that
are very important to us as cyclists: Do not drive at any time without
the appropriate helmet or without glasses and try to always wear the
DSSURSULDWHFORWKLQJIRUULGLQJDELNHRUDWOHDVWDSDLURIFORVH³WWLQJ
pants and footwear that connects to the pedals. On the road, always
GULYHDWWHQWLYHO\DQGWDNHLQWRDFFRXQWWKHWUDI³FQRUPVLQRUGHUWR
avoid putting yourself or others in danger.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride a bike. When you ride a
bike, be aware that it is a partially dangerous activity and that the
driver of the bike must maintain control.
