The Garage

Welcome to the Garage

When you have read the following, please continue with your visit to the Garage of the BMWBMW website.

This collection of technical documents, like much of the rest of the BMWBMW website is made up of contributions from many people. Some are BMWBMW members; some are not. The BMWBMW is an open forum that allows individuals to post information that are open to discussion.

The information offered in the Garage often involves ideas concerning "wrenching" - or doing mechanical work on a BMW Motorcycle platform as well as information of a technical nature and riding tips. BMWBMW in no way advocates modifications to your motorcycle which go against the policy of safe motorcycling. Further, BMWBMW cautions anyone doing mechanical work on your motorcycle does so at their own risk. Anyone who does not have the proper training or background in "wrenching" should not undertake any mechanical project without proper supervision and instruction.

Each piece in the Garage is a description of what has been done by another. If a reader is not completely familiar with the processes involved in these descriptions, the project should not be undertaken.

Keep in mind:

  1. BMWBMW does not advocate unsafe "wrenching."
  2. BMWBMW does not advocate any modifications to any motorcycle which are unsafe to proper motorcycle operation or maintenance.
  3. BMWBMW does not advocate any modifications to any motorcycle which will negate any vehicle warranty.
  4. BMWBMW cautions and reminds visitors and readers that each is responsible for their own actions.
  5. BMWBMW urges anyone having any doubts or concerns about any of the presentations in the Handbooks  to consult a qualified mechanic.
  6. The presentations offered in the Handbooks are by individuals, not by BMWBMW.
  7. No responsibility or liability is accepted by BMWBMW for incorrect part numbers, torque values, riding tips, or any other information in the Garage. It is advised that any information presented should be verified with official or expert sources.

Now that we've fed the Lawyers and given common sense a shot in the arm, below is where you will find the good stuff once we get a larger pile of content in there. ETA April 2007.
