BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
for your motorcycle that are ap-
proved by BMW for this purpose.
Your authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer is the right place to go
for genuine BMW parts and ac-
cessories,other BMW approved
products, and expert advice on
their installation and use.
These parts and products have
been tested by BMW for safety,
function and suitability. BMW

accept any liability whatsoever
for parts and accessories which it
has not approved.

BMW Motorrad cannot ex-
amine or test each product
of outside origin to ensure that it

with BMW motorcycles without
constituting a safety hazard. Nor

conducted by these instances
cannot make provision for all op-
erating conditions experienced by

some circumstances.
Use only parts and accessories
approved by BMW for your
motorcycle.
Whenever you are planning mod-
ifications, comply with all the le-
gal requirements. The motorcy-
cle must not infringe on national
