General notes

10
BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
130
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 wheel sizes
for chassis control systems
( 104).
CAUTION
Use of products from other
manufacturers
Safety risk
BMW Motorrad cannot exam-
ine or test each product of out-
side 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 operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW
motorcycles and, consequently,
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 motorcy-
cle must not violate the regula-
tions governing motorcycle ap-
proval for highway use applicable
in your own country.
