BMW G310GS - Owner's Manual > General instructions

CAUTION Use of other-make products

Safety risk

• BMW Motorrad cannot examine or test each product of outside origin to ensure that it can be used on or in connection with BMW vehicles without constituting a safety hazard.

  Country-specific official authorisation does not suffice as assurance.

  Tests conducted by these instances cannot make provision for all operating conditions experienced by BMW vehicles and, consequently, they are not sufficient in some circumstances.

• Use only parts and accessories approved by BMW for your vehicle.

BMW has conducted extensive testing of the parts and accessory products to establish that they are safe, functional and suitable. Consequently, BMW accepts product liability. BMW accepts no liability whatsoever for parts and accessories that it has not approved.

Whenever you are planning modifications, comply with all the legal requirements. Make sure that the vehicle does not infringe the national road-vehicle construction and use regulations applicable in your country.

Your BMW Motorrad dealer can offer expert advice on the choice of genuine BMW parts, accessories and other products.
