BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and acces-
78
sories for your motorcycle
that are approved by BMW
for this purpose.
Your authorized BMW Motor-
rad retailer is the right place
to go for genuine BMW parts
and accessories,other BMW-
approved products, and ex-
pert advice on their installa-
tion and use.
z
These parts and products
have been tested by BMW for
safety, function and suitability.
BMW accepts product liability
for these products.
Conversely, BMW is unable to
accept any liability whatsoev-
er for parts and accessories
which it has not approved.
BMW cannot evaluate
whether every product of
other manufacturers is suit-
able for use on BMW motor-
cycles without presenting a
safety risk. Nor is this guaran-
tee provided when the official
approval of a specific coun-
try has been granted. Tests
conducted by these instances
cannot make provision for all
operating conditions experi-
enced by BMW motorcycles
and, consequently, they are
not sufficient in some circum-
stances.
Use only parts and acces-
sories approved by BMW for
your motorcycle.
Whenever you are planning
modifications, comply with all
the legal requirements. The
motorcycle must not infringe
on national road-vehicle con-
struction and use regulations.
