MAINTENANCE
GENERAL NOTES
The "Preventive maintenance"
chapter describes work involv-
ing the checking and replace-
ment of wearing parts that can
be performed with a minimum
of effort.
If specific tightening torques
are to be taken into account for
installation, these are listed. An
overview of all required tight-
ening torques is contained in
the chapter "Technical data".
Microencapsulated screws
The microencapsulation is a
chemical threadlocker. An ad-
hesive is used to create a solid
connection between screw and
nut or component. Microen-
capsulated screws, therefore,
are suitable for single use only.
After removal, the internal
thread must be cleaned to
remove adhesive. During
installation, a new microencap-
sulated screw must be used.
Therefore, before removal,
ensure that you have suitable
tools for cleaning the thread
and have a replacement screw.
If you carry out the work
improperly, the locking function
of the screw might no longer
be guaranteed, which puts you
in danger!
Special tools and thorough
specialized knowledge are re-
quired to carry out some of the
work described here. If you
are in doubt, consult a repair
shop, preferably your autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
