of information and advice which will help you use and handle your bike properly. Only by doing so will
you learn how to tune your motorbike to your specific needs and how to protect yourself against injury.
Besides, this manual contains important information on motorcycle maintenance.
In your own interest, please pay particular attention to notices that are marked as follows:
At the time this manual was typeset, it was up-to-date with the latest state of this production series. It
cannot be completely ruled out, however, that minor discrepancies may exist resulting from further design
upgrades of these motorcycles.This manual is an important part of your motorbike and should be passed
on to any subsequent owner in case you decide to sell it.
SERVICE
Observance of the service, maintenance and tuning instructions for the engine and chassis specified in
the Owner's Manual is a prerequisite for faultless operation and the avoidance of premature wear. An
improperly tuned chassis can lead to damage and breakage of the chassis components (see chapter on
checking the basic chassis setting).
The use of the motorcycle under extreme conditions, e.g. on extremely muddy and wet terrain, can lead
to higher than average wear on components such as the drive train or the brakes. In this case it may
become necessary to service or replace wear parts before the service limit specified in the maintenance
schedule has been reached.
– Ignoring these instructions can be dangerous to life and limb!
– ignoring these instructions may damage parts of the motorcycle or impair the motorcycle’s traffic safety!
