7. If you have bought a suspension bicycle, you should ask your BMW
partner to adjust the suspension mechanism to your needs before
delivery. If you have bought it at www.bmw-shop.com, ask at a bicy-
cle specialist shop of your trust to do this job. Improperly adjusted
suspension components are liable to malfunction or damage. In any
case they will impair the performance of your bicycle as well as your
safety whilst riding.
For more information see chapters
“Suspension Forks”
and
“Rear Shock”
. Further notes regarding full suspension bicycles and
forks may be enclosed with this manual.
