R1100RT Owners manual

[JimmR75]

Does anyone have a pdf version of the owner's manual for a 97 RT?  I have the service manual.

 

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Not sure if this will work. https://www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/service/manuals/rider-manual.html

 

Try typing in VIN, drop down list does not have older bikes.

Morning Jim

 

BMW didn't have the older riders manual in.PDF format (they were just paper form back then) so you will have to find someone that has taken the time & effort to copy an original paper manual into digital format then posted it. 

 

Look on E-Bay  (keep looking) as older riders manuals get put up for sale on there occasionally.

Thanks DR, I understand and agree.  I was hoping that someone had done what you mention and scanned one at some point.

Evening Jim

 

Some probably have for their own use (carrying with them in their cell phone)  but  not many honest people  would post them on-line as I believe the BMW riders manual is copyrighted.

 

I don't know about the older ones but newer ones say "Not to be reproduced either wholly or in part without written permission from BMW Motorrad after Sales".

Found this on ebay

Thanks guys, the copyright comment makes sense and the availability might explain the pricing!  

 

This forum has been a better source of information anyway!

Is there any particular reason you want an owners manual?

[Selden]

I have a PDF copy of the R-Series Repair Manual manual if you want. I don't remember where or how I got it years ago, or whether it's still available online.

 

It's 22.5 Mb, so I would need to send it as an e-mail attachment, since this forum has a max total size limit of 14.64 Mb.

Hi Selden the OP doesn't want a repair manual. Just the owners manual.

As soon as he gets it he'll wonder why he needed it.  That's what I did.  Not much of value there.

Yep, make that a +1.
