Order No. 77 01 5 A3D 1C9 BMW Motorrad 02/2021

 Before commencing work, you must read these installation instructions through carefully and make sure
you understand them fully.

We congratulate you on your choice of optional accessories from BMW Motorrad that will enable you to customise
your motorcycle in accordance with your personal preferences.
Safety is invariably an essential prerequisite for extracting full benefit and enjoyment from new accessories. Some work
calls for special tools and possibly a thorough knowledge of motorcycle technology. If you are in doubt consult a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Since we provide you with a multitude of accessories and optional equipment, we cannot cover all equipment spe-
cifications in these installation instructions. Therefore we restrict ourselves to the basic version of the corresponding
model. The removal and installation of other possibly installed accessories is described in the corresponding installation
instructions. Consult your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer if you no longer have access to the sets of instructions you
need.
If you have questions concerning your motorcycle or any of the accessories from our range, your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer will gladly provide advice and assistance.
We at BMW Motorrad hope you will enjoy riding your BMW and that all your journeys will be pleasant and safe.
