Service Bulletins
« on: July 28, 2010, 07:33:18 AM »
The other day I stumbled across a website that contains a large number of Service Instructions that BMW issued to dealers. I counted 67 that were applicable to R65's. The thought occurred that they would be a valuable resource on the forum but also wondered why no Airhead website or forum had done so before now. I posted a question on the Airhead list thinking that the trade members would know if it was legal to publish them. Tom Cutter has replied that they are Copyright which explains why they are not generally available.  All I will say is they are out there and can be found with a Google search if you already know the SI number.  Some of the guru's do quote the SI numbers on forums so maybe it would OK for me to post a list of the SI's that have application to R45/R65's.

I'm working on it but it will take me a little while to compile a useable list as many of the SI titles are ambiguous.

In the mean time try googling "16 002 06 (044)" to see an example of what you can find.

Is that this website?
https://www.bmwmc.net/bulletinsearch.asp

Yes it is although I had only found a complete list of SI's for all models and I was manually searching for the R65 ones.  The search facility that you have found is even better.

Notice though that the URL begins with https ( for secure protocol ). I suspect the owner of this site does not think it is accessible to the public and therefore it may not remain so indefinitely.
