with BMW motorcycles without
constituting a safety hazard.

Nor is this guarantee provided
when the official approval of
a specific country has been
granted. Tests conducted by
these instances cannot make
provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW

they are not sufficient in some
circumstances.
Use only parts and accessories
approved by BMW for your
motorcycle.
The safety, operation and suit-
ability of the parts and accessory
products have been checked ex-
tensively by BMW. Therefore,
BMW assumes responsibility for
these products. BMW shall not
be liable for unapproved parts
and accessory products of any
kind.
Whenever you are planning mod-
ifications, comply with all the le-
gal requirements. The vehicle
must not violate the regulations
governing vehicle approval for
highway use applicable in your
own country.
