The following clothing will protect
you on every ride:
Helmet

Gloves
Boots
This applies even to short
z
journeys, and to every season
of the year. Your authorised
BMW Motorrad Retailer will be
glad to advise you on the correct
clothing for every purpose.
Restricted angle of heel
with low-slung
A motorcycle with lowered
suspension has less ground
clearance and cannot corner
at angles of heel as extreme
as those achievable by a
counterpart motorcycle with
standard-height suspension (see
the section entitled "Technical
data").
When a motorcycle with
lowered suspension is cor-
nering, certain components
can come into contact with
the surface at a bank angle
less than that to which the
rider is accustomed.
Risk of falling
Carefully try out the limits of
the motorcycle's bank angle
and adapt your style of riding
accordingly.
Test your motorcycle's angle
OE
of heel in situations that do not
involve risk. When riding over
kerbs and similar obstacles, bear
in mind that your motorcycle's
ground clearance is limited.

restricted as a result. Be sure to
adjust spring preload accordingly,
particularly for riding two-up.

anced loads
