General notes
CAUTION
Use of products from other
manufacturers
Safety risk
BMW Motorrad cannot exam-
ine or test each product of out-
side origin to ensure that it can
be used on or in connection
with BMW motorcycles without
constituting a safety hazard.
Nor is this guarantee provided
when the official approval of
a specific country has been
granted. Tests conducted by
these instances cannot make
provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW
motorcycles and, consequently,
they are not sufficient in some
circumstances.
Use only parts and accessories
approved by BMW for your
motorcycle.
The safety, operation and suit-
ability of the parts and accessory
products have been checked ex-
tensively by BMW. Therefore,
BMW assumes responsibility for
these products. BMW shall not
be liable for unapproved parts
and accessory products of any
kind.
Whenever you are planning mod-
ifications, comply with all the le-
gal requirements. The motorcy-
cle must not violate the regula-
tions governing motorcycle ap-
proval for highway use applicable
in your own country.
Your authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer offers you qualified advice
in choosing genuine BMW parts,
accessories and other products.
