Overview
An important aspect of this
Rider's Manual is that it can
be used for quick and easy
reference. Consulting the
extensive index at the end of
this Rider's Manual is the fastest
way to find information on a
particular topic or item. Chapter
2 will provide you with an initial
overview of your motorcycle. All
the necessary maintenance and
servicing work on the motorcycle
is documented in Chapter 11.
This record of the maintenance
work you have had performed on
your motorcycle is a precondition
for generous treatment of
goodwill claims.
When the time comes to sell
your BMW please remember to
hand over this Rider's Manual; it
is an important part of the motor-
cycle.
