General instructions

7
BMW Motorrad cannot
examine or test each
80
product of outside origin to
ensure that it can be used on
or in connection with BMW
motorcycles without constituting
a safety hazard. Country-specific
official authorisation does not
suffice as assurance. Tests
conducted by these instances
cannot make provision for all
operating conditions experienced
z
by BMW motorcycles and,
consequently, they are not
sufficient in some circumstances.
Use only parts and accessor-
ies approved by BMW for your
motorcycle.
BMW has conducted extens-
ive testing of the parts and ac-
cessory products to establish
that they are safe, functional and
suitable. Consequently, BMW
accepts product liability. BMW
accepts no liability whatsoever for
parts and accessories that it has
not approved.
Whenever you are planning
modifications, comply with all
the legal requirements. Make
sure that the vehicle does not
infringe the national road-vehicle
construction and use regulations
applicable in your country.
Also bear in mind the informa-
tion on the effect of wheel size
on suspension-control systems
( 94).
Your BMW Motorrad dealer can
offer expert advice on the choice
of genuine BMW parts, accessor-
ies and other products.
You can examine all the optional
accessories from BMW Motorrad
