Introduction

This repair manual will help you to perform all the main maintenance and repair work correctly and efficient­ly. It should be consulted regularly by workshop personnel as an addition to the practical and theoretical knowledge obtained in Training School courses. It is a contribution towards achieving even higher Service quality.
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, Dis-
assembly, Repair, Assembly, Installation.
The entire contents are divided into individual chapters, corresponding to the Construction Groups.
11 . 10
Chap. Page number within chapter
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 you to consult the detailed illustrations on the Parts microfiches as an additional source of information.

mediately for damage and if necessary examine the contents for consequential damage.

In case of damage in Germany

Note the damage on the delivery slip.
Read the information sheet on damage in transit.
Immediately notify the freight carrier (e.g. freight
forwarder or DB) and Bavaria Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH Abteilung ZW - 12
80788 München Phone 089/14327-632 Fax. 089/14327-709

In case of damage in importer markets

Note the damage on the delivery slip.
Comply with specific national market proce-
dures. In case of doubt, please submit enquiries to: Bavaria Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH Abteilung ZW - 12
D-80788 München Tel. +49 89 14327 632 Fax. +49 89 14327 709
Immediately notify the freight carrier (e.g. freight
forwarder).

Unpacking the motorcycle

Lever off the cover.
Take out the separate pack of items:
– Spare keys – Owner's Manual – Windscreen and securing screws
Pry off the cross struts with a suitable lever.
e Caution:
Do not hammer out the cross struts or the motor­cycle may be damaged.

Installing remaining items on motorcycle

Wheel the motorcycle clear of the wooden pallet.
S000030
Carefully tighten the securing screws by hand.

Inspecting motorcycle for damage

Check for defects.
Send an “Urgent notification” to
BMW AG, Sparte Motorrad, UX-VS-1 Fax No. +49 89 382 33220
Rectify the defect.
Use the electronic parts list to order parts, if
needed. Costs are to be processed by the warranty claim
system (stage 4). Defect codes:
– Parts missing 10 01 00 00 00 – Parts damaged 10 02 00 00 00 – Incorrect parts delivered 10 03 00 00 00
If the parts that are needed do not appear in the
electronic parts list (e.g. parts for official-user motorcycles), send an order form to: Fax No. +49 30-3396-2262

Checking that delivery is complete

Remove the end panels.
Remove the side panels.
e Caution:
Remove all nails projecting from the base of the crate or lying on the floor.
Dispose of the packing materials in an environ-
mentally responsible manner as described in Service Information 23/91 - Sales.

Filling and charging the battery

Disengaging and raising the fuel tank

Remove seat.
Remove right and left side trim panels.
e Caution:
Fuel is flammable and a hazard to health. Observe relevant safety regulations.
Remove the fuel tank.
Raise the rear of the fuel tank and prop it in this
position on a wooden block or similar.

Filling and charging the battery

d Warning:
Battery acid is severely caustic. Protect your eyes, face, hands and clothing and the paintwork.
Disengage the rubber strap holding the battery.
Disconnect the battery breather hose.
Remove the battery.
Add battery acid up to the MAX mark.
Allow the battery to stand for at least an hour.
Shake the battery slightly to allow the remaining
air bubbles to escape. If necessary, top up again to the MAX mark with
battery acid. Charge the battery and allow to stand for
24 hours.
Charge current (amps)
......................... 10 % of rated battery capacity (Ah)
If necessary, top up the acid level to the MAX
mark with distilled water. Make a note of the charging date on the battery.
00.15
e Caution:
Connect the positive battery terminal first, then the negative terminal.
Apply acid-proof grease to the battery terminal
posts. Install the battery.
Secure the fuel tank in position.
Install right and left side trim panels.
Install dualseat.
Switch on the ignition.
Without starting the engine, fully open the throttle
once or twice so that the Motronic control unit can register the throttle-valve positions.
L Note:
Disconnecting the battery deletes all entries (e.g. faults, settings) stored in the Motronic control unit’s memory. Loss of settings can temporarily impair the operat­ing characteristics when the engine is restarted.
