service
Advanced technology
requires specially adapted
methods of maintenance and
repair.
If maintenance and re-
pair work is performed
inexpertly, it could result in
consequential damage and
thus constitute a safety risk.
BMW Motorrad recommends
you to have all the associated
work on your motorcycle car-
ried out by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Your authorised BMW Motor-
rad dealer can provide inform-
ation on the specified Ser-
vice, Inspection and Annual
Inspection work needed.
Have all maintenance and
repair work carried out
confirmed in the "Service"
chapter in this manual.
Authorised BMW Motorrad
dealers are supplied with the
latest technical information
and have the necessary tech-
nical know-how. BMW Mo-
torrad recommends that you
contact your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer if you have
questions regarding your mo-
torcycle.
BMW Motorrad service
quality
Along with its reputation for
engineering quality and high
reliability, BMW Motorrad is a
byword for excellent quality of
service.
To ensure that your BMW is
always in optimum condition,
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you have the mainten-
ance work required for your
motorcycle carried out reg-
ularly, preferably by your au-
thorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er. For generous treatment
of claims submitted after the
warranty period has expired,
evidence of regular mainten-
ance is essential.
Certain signs of wear,
moreover, may otherwise not
be noticed until it is too late
to put them right at moderate
cost. Your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer's mechanics
know every detail of your
motorcycle and can take
remedial action if necessary
before minor faults develop
into serious problems. By
having the necessary repairs
done properly and in good
time, you save time and
money in the long run.
