BMW Mountain Bike Enduro Owner's Manual page 6

When doing maintenance or repair work, be aware that the detailed
instructions provided in your manual only refer to these bicycles.
The information included here is not applicable to any other bicycle. As
bicycles come in a wide variety of designs with frequent model changes,
the routines described may not be complete. In addition, please observe
the instructions of the component suppliers that you have received from
your BMW partner.
Be aware that these instructions may require further explanation,
depending on the experience and/or skills of the person doing the work.
For some jobs you may require additional (special) tools or supplemen-
tary instructions.
For your own safety, never do work on your bicycle unless you
feel absolutely sure about it. If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, please contact your BMW partner!
Before you set off, let us point out a few things that are very important to
every cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without
glasses and take care to always wear suitable clothing. At least you
should wear straight cut trousers and shoes fitting the pedal system.
Always ride carefully on public roads and observe the traffic rules so as
not to endanger yourself or others.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Please be aware that cycling
is a hazardous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or
her bicycle at all times.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury. Keep this in mind. When
you decide to ride a bicycle you need to accept the risk inherent to
cycling. Please note that on a bicycle you have no protection technol-
ogy around you (e.g. bodywork, airbag) like you have in a car. Therefore,
always ride carefully and do respect the other traffic participants. Never
ride under the influence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you are
tired. Do not ride with a second person on your bicycle and always ride
with your hands on the handlebars.

Observe the legal regulations concerning off-road cycling. These regula-
tions may differ in each country. Please respect nature when riding
off-road. Only use your bicycle on signposted, well-maintained trails and
hard-surface roads.
First we would like to familiarise you with the various components used
on your bicycle. Please unfold the cover of this manual. Here you will find
the diagrams of three bicycles showing all the essential components.
Leave the page unfolded as you read so that you can easily locate the
components as they are referred to in the text.
Have a nice cycle trip!
