About this manual
The owner's manual is the book BMW supplied with the motorcycle, and BMW still publishes it, free and in the latest revision. It covers the R1150GS, and it is the book to reach for when you want the figure the factory intended: the oil the engine takes, the gap on a spark plug, the pressure in the tires, which fuse protects which circuit.
For work that goes beyond the owner's handbook, the exploded view drawings carry the official part number for every component on the bike. Many of the parts in these drawings ship from our own stock.
