Safety instructions<br />
Rider's equipment<br />
Do not ride without the correct<br />
clothing. Always wear:<br />
Helmet<br />
Motorcycling jacket and<br />
trousers<br />
Gloves<br />
Boots<br />
This applies even to short journeys,<br />
and to every season of<br />
the year. Your authorised <strong>BMW</strong><br />
<strong>Motorrad</strong> dealer will be glad to<br />
advise you on the correct clothing<br />
for every purpose.<br />
Speed<br />
If you ride at high speed, always<br />
bear in mind that various boundary<br />
conditions can adversely affect<br />
the handling of your motorcycle:<br />
Settings of the spring-strut and<br />
shock-absorber system<br />
Imbalanced load<br />
Loose clothing<br />
Insufficient tyre pressure<br />
Poor tyre tread<br />
Etc.<br />
Correct loading<br />
Overloading and imbalanced<br />
loads can adversely<br />
affect the motorcycle's handling.<br />
Do not exceed the permissible<br />
gross weight and be sure to<br />
comply with the instructions on<br />
loading.<br />
Alcohol and drugs<br />
Even small amounts of<br />
alcohol or drugs will adversely<br />
affect your perception<br />
and your ability to assess situations<br />
and make decisions, and<br />
slow down your reflexes. Medication<br />
can exacerbate these effects.<br />
Do not ride your motorcycle after<br />
consuming alcohol, drugs and/or<br />
medication.<br />
Risk of poisoning<br />
Exhaust fumes contain carbon<br />
monoxide, which is colourless<br />
and odourless but highly toxic.<br />
Inhaling the exhaust fumes<br />
therefore represents a<br />
health hazard and can even<br />
cause loss of consciousness with<br />
fatal consequences.<br />
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.<br />
Do not run the engine in an enclosed<br />
space.<br />
High voltage<br />
Touching live parts of the<br />
ignition system with the<br />
engine running can cause electric<br />
shock.<br />
Do not touch parts of the ignition<br />
system when the engine is<br />
running.
