Use of other-make products
Safety risk
BMW Motorrad cannot exam-
ine or test each product of out-
side origin to ensure that it can
be used on or in connection
with BMW vehicles without
constituting a safety hazard.
Country-specific official author-
z
isation does not suffice as as-
surance. Tests conducted by
these instances cannot make
provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW
vehicles and, consequently,
they are not sufficient in some
circumstances.
Use only parts and accessor-
ies approved by BMW for your
vehicle.
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.
Your BMW Motorrad dealer can
offer expert advice on the choice
of genuine BMW parts, accessor-
ies and other products.
