HOW TO HANDLE THE BIKE
39
After a fall
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
Damaged bike components can suddenly break or otherwise fail.
»
Do not use your bike if it is damaged or you suspect it is damaged.
»
Have the bike checked by your specialist dealer after falls or accidents. Have
damaged components replaced with suitable original parts.
»
Never try to straighten bent parts yourself.
Accidents and falls can cause damage to the bike that is not visible at first glance, e.g.,
hairline cracks.
• After a minor fall – e. g., if the bike falls over – check the condition of the bike compo-
nents yourself and ensure they are functioning properly.
40 Transporting baggage
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
Incorrectly transporting baggage compromises road safety. There is an increased
risk of accident and injury.
»
Do not secure any luggage to the handlebar. Special handlebar bags are the only
exception to this.
Fitting a carrier is not permitted.
Observe the information in the bike passport
