BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
78
for your motorcycle that are ap-
proved by BMW for this purpose.
Your authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer will be happy to provide
qualified advice on the selection
of genuine BMW parts and ac-
cessories as well as other BMW-
approved products.
These parts and products have
been tested by BMW for safety,
z
function and suitability. BMW
accepts product liability for these
products.
BMW is unable to accept any li-
ability whatsoever for parts and
accessories which it has not ap-
proved.
Observe the information on
the importance of tire sizes for
suspension control systems
( 103).
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 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 op-
erating conditions experienced by
BMW motorcycles and, conse-
quently, they are not sufficient in
some circumstances.
Use only parts and accessories
approved by BMW for your
motorcycle.
Whenever you are planning mod-
ifications, comply with all the le-
gal requirements. The vehicle
must not infringe on national
road-vehicle construction and
use regulations of your country.
