Checklist - BMW K 1200 LT 2005 Rider's Manual

Use the safety checklist –
before every journey
Please perform the safety
check accurately. If your motor-
cycle needs any routine mainte-
nance, you can then attend to it
before the journey starts
( Maintenance Instructions),
b
or have it carried out by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. This is to ensure that
your motorcycle complies with
road-vehicle use and safety
laws.
Your vehicle must be in perfect
technical order: this is a basic
prerequisite for your safety and
the safety of other road users.
For this reason, check the
details in the following sections
before you start the journey:
– Fuel level
– Positions of the handlebar
levers
– Brake fluid level
– Clutch fluid level
– Brakes
– Warning lights and telltale
lights
– Spring preload
– Wheel rim and tyre condition,
tread depth and tyre pres-
sures
– Load, gross weight
– Lights
– Coolant level
– Check regularly (every time
you stop for fuel), on the basis
of the following section:
– Engine oil level
(every second/third stop for
fuel)
– Brake pads
If you encounter any problems
or difficulties, it is always best to
contact your authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer.
He will provide the necessary
advice and assistance.
