BMW K 1200 R User Manual

General instructions
BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of parts and accessories
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
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.
BMW Motorrad cannot
assess each non-BMW
product to determine wheth-

nection with BMW motorcycles
without constituting a safety haz-

thorisation does not suffice as

provision for all operating con-
ditions experienced by BMW mo-
torcycles and, consequently, they
are not sufficient in some circum-

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 national road-vehicle
construction and use regulations.
