This repair manual will help you to perform all the main maintenance and repair work correctly and efficiently. If it is consulted regularly by workshop personnel it will form a useful addition to the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired at the BMW Training Centre. It is a contribution towards achieving even higher
Service quality.
A new issue of this repair manual will be published if amendments or additions (supplements) are needed.
All information in both text and illustrations refers to motorcycles in standard condition or with genuine
BMW accessories installed, and not to motorcycles which have been modified in any way to depart from
the manufacturer’s specification.
The repair manual is structured in the logical sequence of the work to be performed: Removal, Disas-
•
sembly, Repair, Assembly, Installation.
The entire contents are divided into individual chapters, corresponding to the Construction Groups.

ChapterPage number within chapter
An arrow symbol followed by the chapter and page numbers is a reference to another chapter,
e.g. Ób ............................................See Group 46
Work to be performed during an Inspection is described in Group “00”. The various inspection routines
•
are numbered I, II, III and IV. This numbering is repeated in the work descriptions which follow, so that
work can take place without interruption.
Use of the BMW special tools needed for certain tasks is described in the work instructions.
•
If the need arises, repair instructions are also issued in the form of Service Information. This information is
of course incorporated into the next issue of the repair manual. We also recommend, as an additional
source of information, the Electronic Parts Catalogue (ETC), which contains clear and easy-to-follow illustrations.
If the work described here is restricted to a particular equipment specification, for instance if a specific optional extra (OE) is fitted, this is stated in square brackets at the start of the item concerned, e.g. [With heat-ed handlebar grips].
Please refer to the following pages as well for a description of other symbols used and how to work with it.

If the term “release” or “remove” is used:
the fastener (e.g. screw) must be slackened off and taken out
or
a component (e.g. fuel rail) must be removed to the extent that other components which it conceals (e.g.
throttle-valve rail) are accessible
If the term “loosen” or “slacken” is used:
the fastener (e.g. screw) must only be slackened off but not taken out

Key to maintenance intervals
Maintenance intervals consist of the first Inspection
(after the first 1,000 km/600 miles), the BMW Service, BMW Inspection and BMW Annual Service.
Inspection 1,000 km/600 miles
BMW Running-in Check after the first 1,000 km
(600 miles).
BMW Service
After the first 10,000 km/6,000 miles and each additional 20,000 km/12,000 miles (at 18,000 miles ...
30,000 miles ... 42,000 miles).
BMW Inspection
After the first 20,000 km/12,000 miles and each additional 20,000 km/12,000 miles (at 24,000 miles ...
36,000 miles ... 48,000 miles).
BMW Annual Service
Certain tasks maintenance depend on elapsed time
as well as the distance the bike has covered. They
should therefore be carried out at least once a year
(e.g. replacing brake fluid).
If these tasks cannot be carried out during a Service
or an Inspection, a BMW Annual Service must be
performed.
In this Repair Manual, the individual maintenance intervals are shown by the following codes:
— Inspection at 1,000 km (600 miles)......................I
— BMW Service at 10,000 km (6,000 miles)...........II
— BMW Inspection at 20,000 km (12,000 miles) .. III
