Safety check
Checklist
Use the safety checklist –
before every journey
Please perform the safety check
accurately. If your motorcycle
needs any routine maintenance,
you can then attend to it before
the journey starts (
b Maintenance
Instructions), or have it performed
by a BMW-certified workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW
motorcycle retailer. This is to
ensure that your motorcycle com-
plies with road-vehicle use and
safety laws.
Your vehicle must be in perfect
technical order: this is a basic pre-
requisite 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 indicator
lights
– Spring preload
– Wheel rim and tire condition,
tread depth and tire pressures
–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 authorized BMW
motorcycle retailer.
He will provide the necessary
advice and assistance.
