GENERAL NOTES

CAUTION
Use of other-make products
Safety risk
BMW Motorrad cannot ex-
amine or test each product
of outside origin to ensure
that it can be used on or
in connection with BMW
vehicles without constituting
a safety hazard. Country-
specific official authorisa-
tion does not suffice as as-
surance. Tests conducted
by these instances cannot
make provision for all oper-
ating conditions experienced
by BMW vehicles and, con-
sequently, they are not suffi-
cient in some circumstances.
Use only parts and accessor-
ies approved by BMW for
your vehicle.
BMW has conducted extensive
testing of the parts and access-
ory products to establish that
they are safe, functional and
suitable. Consequently, BMW
accepts responsibility for the
products. BMW accepts no li-
ability whatsoever for parts and
accessories that it has not ap-
proved.
All modifications must be in
compliance with legal require-
ments. Make sure that the
vehicle does not infringe the
national road-vehicle construc-
tion and use regulations applic-
able in your country.
Your authorised
BMW Motorrad retailer
can offer expert advice on the
choice of genuine BMW parts,
accessories and other products.
