BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and ac-
84
cessories for your motorcycle
that are approved by BMW for
this purpose.
Genuine BMW parts and ac-
cessories and other products
which BMW has approved
can be obtained from your
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer, together with expert
advice on their installation
z
and use.
These parts and products
have been tested by BMW for
safety, function and suitability.
BMW accepts product liability
for them.
Conversely, BMW is unable
to accept any liability whatso-
ever for parts and accessor-
ies which it has not approved.
BMW Motorrad cannot
assess each non-BMW
product to determine whether
it can be used on or in con-
nection with BMW motor-
cycles 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 operat-
ing conditions experienced by
BMW motorcycles and, con-
sequently, they are not suffi-
cient in some circumstances.
Use only parts and accessor-
ies approved by BMW for
your motorcycle.
Whenever you are planning
modifications, comply with all
the legal requirements. Make
sure that the motorcycle does
not infringe national road-
vehicle construction and use
regulations.
