General instructions

BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and acces-
82
sories for your motorcycle
that are approved by BMW
for this purpose.
Genuine BMW parts and ac-
cessories and other products
which BMW has approved
can be obtained from your
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer, together with expert
advice on their installation
z
and use.
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.
