General instructions

8
BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
102
for your motorcycle that are ap-
proved 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 install-
ation and use.
These parts and products have
z
been tested by BMW for safety,
function and suitability. BMW
accepts product liability for them.
Conversely, BMW is unable to
accept any liability whatsoever
for parts and accessories which it
has not approved.
Also bear in mind the informa-
tion on the effect of wheel size
on suspension-control systems
( 116).
BMW Motorrad cannot
assess each non-BMW
product to determine wheth-
er it can be used on or in con-
nection with BMW motorcycles
without constituting a safety haz-
ard. Country-specific official au-
thorisation does not suffice as
assurance. Tests conducted by
these instances cannot make
provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW mo-
torcycles and, consequently, they
are not sufficient in some circum-
stances.
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 the national road-vehicle
construction and use regulations
applicable in your country.

Correct loading
Overloading and imbal-
anced loads can adversely
affect the motorcycle's handling.

gross weight and be sure to
comply with the instructions on
loading.

characteristic and tyre pres-
sures to suit total weight.
