Whether you have just purchased your first BMW or you are a previous owner, we hope your new BMW will live up to your expectations in every way. The proper care and service of your new BMW is essential to its safe, dependable operation, longevity and to the protection of your investment. Your BMW is covered by a new motorcycle and scooter limited warranty, noise emission warranty/tampering provisions and an emissions related defect warranty. Detailed warranty information is contained on pages 9-26. Our Customer Relations and Services Department, now accessible via a toll free number, is at your service. The phone number is 1-800- 831-1117. We recommend that you place all the service needs of your BMW in the hands of your BMW motorcycle and scooter dealer who has made a substantial investment in Service Training, Special Tools, Diagnostic Equipment and Original BMW Parts. Certified Technicians perform high quality repairs in a minimum amount of time. BMW personnel work closely with BMW dealers to maintain the highest standards for their service and parts department. This booklet is provided by BMW Motorrad USA to inform you of applicable motor cycle and scooter warranties. BMW manufactures its motorcycles and scooters to high production quality standards. Your Rider s Manual for your BMW will provide information on operating instructions, safety and riding hints, general specifications, as well as care and maintenance procedures and intervals. The finish of your BMW will be enhanced by regular washing with approved cleaning products, avoiding high pressure washing systems, and touching up any stone chip damage immediately. Since paint finishes are susceptible to fading from environmental influences, we strongly recommend that 2
your BMW remain covered when not in use. Your authorized BMW motorcycle and scooter dealer sells a complete line of care products approved by BMW Motorrad USA. Safe operation of the disc brake system on your motorcycle or scooter will be realized by following BMW s recommendation to change brake fluid bi-annually regardless of mileage. More frequent changes may be dictated by the climatic severity of your geographic location. When your motorcycle or scooter is not in regular use, the Rider s Manual gives you suggested steps in the proper storage of your BMW and specific instructions regarding the care of your vehicle s battery. The effort you make to provide regularly scheduled mainten - ance, proper care for the finish and consistent annual servicing will reward you with years of safe and reliable enjoyment of your BMW. Always carry your vehicle documentation when traveling. BMW Motorrad USA 3

If we are unable to correct a defect or condition covered by these statutes in a reasonable number of attempts, we are obligated either to replace the vehicle or reimburse the owner/lessee in an amount equal to the purchase price or lease payments paid by the owner/lessee, less that amount directly attributable to use of the vehicle by the owner/lessee.

BMW of North America, LLC ( BMW NA ) warrants to the first retail purchaser and each subsequent purchaser of 2014 US specification BMW Motorrad USA motorcycles and scooters, imported by BMW NA or sold through the BMW NA Military Sales Program to be free of defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first), commencing with the date the vehicle is delivered to its first retail purchaser, or, if the vehicle is first placed in service as a BMW Press vehicle, BMW Employee Lease vehicle, BMW demonstrator, BMW display vehicle, BMW Fleet vehicle or BMW dealer demonstrator prior to sale at retail, on the date the vehicle is first placed in such service. To obtain service under this warranty, the vehicle must be brought, upon discovery of the defect, to the workshop of any authorized BMW motorcycle and scooter dealer. This BMW dealer will, without charge for parts or labor, either repair or replace the defective part(s) using new or authorized remanufactured parts. The decision to repair or replace said part(s) is solely the prerogative of BMW NA. Parts for which replacements are made become the property of BMW NA. BMW NA makes no other express warranty on this product except the warranty as to the emission control system. The duration of any implied warranty of merchantability, is limited to the duration of the express warranty herein. BMW NA hereby excludes incidental and consequential damages, including loss of time, inconvenience, or loss of use of the vehicle, for any breach of any express or implied warranty, including implied warranty of merchantability that may be applicable to this product. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. Any legal claim or action arising from any express or limited warranty contained herein must be brought within 12 months of the date it arises. This warranty is applicable to US specification motorcycles and scooters operated within the United States. US specification motorcycles and scooters operated outside of the United States 9
may be covered by the BMW Motorrad international limited warranty, which may differ in coverage from the US limited warranty. The following items are warranted for defects in material and workmanship only for the first 6 months: Halogen, Xenon and LED bulbs The following items are warranted for defects in material and workmanship only for the first 12 months: Paint and powder coat finishes Chrome The following items are warranted for defects in material and workmanship only for the first 24 months: Battery This warranty does not apply to the following: a) Maintenance Services: This includes scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes, wheel balancing; mechan ical adjustments or repairs that become necesary through normal wear and tear such as throttle body synchronization, poly V-belt adjustments or steering bearing adjustments; or periodic maintenance such as input and Paralever drive shaft spline lubrications. b) Service and Wear Items: This in- 10 cludes the replacement of light bulbs, brake pads, linings and rotor assemblies, clutch plates, steering head, wheel and swing arm bearings and ball joints, fuses, control cables, poly V-belt replacement, drive chains, belts, sprockets and pulleys, exhaust pipes and mufflers for discoloration of finish and rubber items such as hand grips, heated hand grips, foot rests, foot shift and control cable shields. c) Batteries: Batteries that exhibit signs of neglect and/or overcharging. d) Tires: Tires and tubes are warranted by their respective manufacturer for de fects in materials and workmanship. e) Garmin Products: Garmin products, manufactured by Garmin International and marketed by BMW NA through BMW or for Motorcycle dealers are warranted by their manufacturer, Garmin International, for defects in material and workmanship.

Please refer to your owner s manual for important information on the fuel recommended for use in your vehicle. Use of fuels with insufficient detergent and/or excess alco-
hol can cause driveability problems that necessitate cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves, and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle. We suggest having this work performed by your authorized BMW dealer, perhaps while regular maintenance is performed. Your BMW dealer can also recommend a gasoline additive that will provide sufficient detergency. While this recommended unscheduled maintenance is not required in order to maintain the emission warranty, cleaning of intake valves or, when applicable, fuel injection valves, or adjustment of engine idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel, it is not covered by warranty because no defect in material or workmanship or component failure is involved. g) Failure to Service: This includes, but is not limited to, damage attributable to failure to perform maintenance services at the spec i - fied intervals or in accordance with the instructions in the Rider s Manual. Proof must be provided either by a paid invoice copy or by the appropriate boxes in the Rider s Manual completed by an authorized BMW dealer. h) Damage: This includes, but is not limited to, damage resulting from negligence, improper treatment, extreme lack of use (100 miles or less per month on average) or improper storage, the installation and use of side cars, three wheel conversions, trailer hitches, the towing of trailers of any description, acci dents or improper accident damage repairs, corrosion from road salts, battery acid, cleaning agents, environ mental influences, or treatment contrary to the Riders Manual. i) Non-BMW Parts: Damage to a component or assembly due to the installation of replacement parts with specifications that differ in any material respect from Original BMW Parts. j) Towing: Limited towing assistance is available through the BMW Motorcycle Roadside Assistance Plan. The warranty shall be null and void if: 1. The motorcycle or scooter is used in any competitive events. 2. The motorcycle or scooter has been declared a total loss or sold for salvage purposes. 3. If the Vehicle Identification Number has been altered or cannot be read. 4. Any performance accessory or components attached to the vehicle alters the original engineering and/or operating specifications which results, or may result, in damage to other original components. 11
