Introduction
This Repair Manual will help you to perform all the main maintenance and repair work correctly and effi-
ciently. If it is consulted regularly by workshop personnel it will form a useful addition to the theoretical and
practical knowledge acquired at the BMW Training Centre. It is a contribution towards achieving even high-
er Service quality.
A new issue of this repair manual will be published if amendments or additions (supplements) are needed.
All information in both text and illustrations refers to motorcycles in standard condition or with genuine
BMW accessories installed, and not to motorcycles which have been modified in any way to depart from
the manufacturer’s specification.
•
The Repair Manual is structured in the logical sequence of the work to be performed: Removal, Disas-
sembly, Repair, Assembly, Installation.
•
The entire contents are divided into individual chapters, corresponding to the Construction Groups.

Work to be performed during an Inspection is described in Group “00”. The various inspection routines
are numbered I, II, III and IV. This numbering is repeated in the work descriptions which follow, so that
work can take place without interruption.
•
Use of the BMW special tools needed for certain tasks is described in the work instructions.
If the need arises, repair instructions are also issued in the form of Service Information. This information is of
course incorporated into the next issue of the Repair Manual. We also recommend, as an additional source
of information, the Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC), which contains clear and easy-to-follow illustrations.
If the work described here is restricted to a particular equipment specification, for instance if a specific
optional extra (Option) is fitted, this is stated in square brackets at the start of the item concerned, e.g.
[Heated handlebar grips]
