SHOCK ABSORBER BM606
for BMW R1200 GS Adventure
During storage and transportation, espe-
cially at high ambient temperature, the
oil and grease used for assembling may
leak inside the packing and damage the
expanded polystyrene packing mate-
rial. This is not unusual and is in no
way detrimental to the shock absorber.
Before installing this product, read the Öhlins Owner’s Manual!
