Thanks in advance for any reply. - Jim 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmR75 Posted December 1 Thanks DR, I understand and agree. I was hoping that someone had done what you mention and scanned one at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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".

JimmR75 Posted December 2 Thanks guys, the copyright comment makes sense and the availability might explain the pricing! This forum has been a better source of information anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyS Posted December 2 Is there any particular reason you want an owners manual? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selden Posted December 2 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyS Posted December 3 Hi Selden the OP doesn't want a repair manual. Just the owners manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowndes Posted December 3 As soon as he gets it he'll wonder why he needed it. That's what I did. Not much of value there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
