Safety instructions

Rider's equipment

Do not ride without the correct

clothing. Always wear:

Helmet

Motorcycling jacket and

trousers

Gloves

Boots

This applies even to short

journeys, and to every season

of the year. Your authorised

BMW Motorrad dealer will be

glad to advise you on the correct

clothing for every purpose.

Restricted angle of heel

with lowered suspension

OE

A motorcycle with lowered

suspension has less ground

clearance and cannot corner

at angles of heel as extreme

as those achievable by a

counterpart motorcycle with

standard-height suspension.

Risk of accident by unex-

pectedly early contact with

the ground.

Bear in mind that lowered

suspension limits the

motorcycle's angle of heel and

ground clearance.

Test your motorcycle's angle

of heel in situations that do not

involve risk. When riding over

kerbs and similar obstacles, bear

in mind that your motorcycle's

ground clearance is limited.

Lowering the motorcycle's sus-

pension shortens suspension

travel (see the section entitled

"Technical Data"). Ride comfort

might be restricted as a result.

Be sure to adjust spring preload

accordingly, particularly for riding

two-up.

Loading

Overloading and imbal-

anced loads can adversely

affect the motorcycle's handling.

Do not exceed the permissible

gross weight and be sure to

comply with the instructions on

loading.

Adjusting spring preload set-

ting and damping to the total

weight.
