MAINTENANCE
GENERAL NOTES
The Maintenance chapter de-
scribes straightforward proced-
ures for checking and replacing
certain wear parts.
Special tightening torques are
listed as applicable. The tight-
ening torques for the threaded
fasteners on your vehicle are
listed in the section entitled
"Technical data".
Microencapsulated screws
The microencapsulation is a
chemical thread-locker. An ad-
hesive compound creates a se-
cure connection between bolt
and nut or between screw and
component. Consequently, mi-
croencapsulated screws are for
once-only use and are not in-
tended for re-installation after
being slackened.
After removal of the screw,
clean the internal thread to
remove all traces of thread-
locking compound. Always
use new microencapsulated
screws when re-assembling.
Consequently, prior to disas-
sembly make sure that you
have suitable tools for clean-
ing the threads and a new re-
placement for each screw to be
removed. If the job is not done
correctly there is no guaran-
tee that the screw will remain
secure, which means that you
would be putting yourself at
risk!
Some of the work calls for
special tools and a thorough
knowledge of the technology
involved. If you are in doubt,
consult a specialist workshop,
preferably your authorised
BMW Motorrad retailer.
