Handlebars

Adjustable handlebars

Handlebars 1 are height-ad-

justable. If you want to have the

handlebars adjusted consult a

specialist workshop, preferably an

authorised BMW Motorrad deal-

er.

Mirrors

Adjusting mirrors

Pivot the mirror to the correct

position by pressing gently at

the edge.

Spring preload

Setting

It is essential to set spring pre-

load of the rear suspension to

suit the load carried by the mo-

torcycle. Increase spring preload

when the motorcycle is heavily

loaded and reduce spring preload

accordingly when the motorcycle

is lightly loaded.

Adjusting spring preload

for rear wheel

Make sure the ground is level

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.

Your motorcycle's hand-

ling will suffer if you do not

match the spring-preload and

damping-characteristic settings.

Adjust the damping characteristic

to suit spring preload.
