BMW R 1200RT, Rider'S Manual

Page: 8 / 190

Overview
We have placed great importance
on good orientation when using
this Rider's Manual. You'll find
special topics most quickly by
using the extensive index at the
end of the manual. You can find
a first overview of your motorcy-
cle in Chapter 2. All maintenance
and repair work carried out on
your vehicle will be documented
in Chapter 11. Proof of the main-
tenance work performed is a pre-
requisite for generous treatment
of claims.
When the time comes to sell
your BMW, remember to hand
over this Rider's Manual; it is an
important part of the motorcycle.
