Equipment

When you purchased your BMW motorcycle, you chose a model with individual equipment. This Rider's Manual describes the optional extras (OE) offered by BMW and selected optional accessories (OA). This explains why the manual may also contain equipment specifications which you have not ordered. Please note, too, that your motorcycle might not be exactly as illustrated in this manual on account of country-specific differences.

If your motorcycle contains equipment that has not been described, its description can be found in a separate manual.

Technical data

All dimensions, weights and power outputs stated in the Rider's Manual are quoted to the standards and comply with the tolerance requirements of the Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN). Versions for individual countries may differ.

Actuality

The high safety and quality level of BMW motorcycles is ensured by continuous development work on design, equipment

and accessories. Because of this, your motorcycle may differ from the information supplied in the Rider's Manual. Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely rule out errors and omissions. We hope you will appreciate that no

claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this manual.
