Spacey1,

An excellent list. However, after scanning it seems to be missing the most important item. The one about what to do when the service interval is up or there is a problem or other, including those listed…

Add this to your list: Call Auto Classic or Thorsten etc and make a service/repair booking. Just need to add a phone number or two. Then there is, of course, a requirement to find a way to get home and a way to get back when the bike is ready.

Cheers,

Raider

At the very least, a GS 911 can record all relevant data from your BMW's ECU (computer), save that information to a text file which you can then save to your mobile phone.

Then you will have an accurate record of your BMW motorcycle on your phone in the case of a breakdown occurring.
The BMW spare parts people will be able to more accurately assist identifying parts for your BMW motorcycle.
