BMW Accessories with No Instructions

[bobs_one]

So, I have a new 2024 GSA that I am farkling. I decided that I really like the BMW valve cover guards, so I ordered a set from my dealer.
BMW Valve Guide Covers

When I got them home and opened the box, the valve covers and hardware are in there, but the installation instructions consist of a piece of paper which says, "Installation instructions are downloadable from ASAP or are on RSD". Since I haven't subscribed to ASAP and they no longer sell the RSD to mere mortals, how am I supposed to get the installation instructions.

I suppose I could go to the dealer and ask them to print them off, but that's another trip out there.

Is it these? https://www.revzilla.com/assets/0002/9150/Cylinder-head_cover_guard.pdf

It is frustrating and has happened to me a few times but I am on email basis with the parts manager at MaxBMW and he has sent me PDFs to accessories I've bought that are BMW part numbers. Probably something MaxBMW would do for anyone customer or not if you email their parts address.

That looks like the R1200 guards.

I found the same thing with a lot of my factory accessories for my S1000RR. This BMW site had the instructions. Hope this helps.

If your dealer is not close, ask them to email or mail the instructions.

A lot of accessories are being shipped now a days without a written instruction sheet but check to see if there a a code you can scan with your phone in the box or on the side of the box with a link to instructions.

Not a fan of this. Not a fan of “pictographic” instructions either.

I don't think any BMW accessories I've ordered have ever come with any sort of instructions. I'm guessing it goes along with BMW no longer selling service manuals, as they want us to believe the bikes they sell in recent years are much too complicated for anyone other than a factory trained/certified service to deal with.

I've used the service CD and exploded parts diagrams to install everything.

FTFY.
