BMW MOTORRAD: SECTION 1
Begin your training toward becoming BMW motorcycle mechanic by using BMW’s Web-based training system to learn about the history of BMW motorcycles and BMW Motorrad USA training requirements for technicians. Students also will get familiar with the BMW Motorcycles model lineup, including model identification, suspension system design, identification and evolution of the antilock braking system (ABS). They will learn to identify the structure of the vehicle identification number (VIN), locate the VIN on various motorcycles and identify other labels found on the motorcycles and main group structure. Also covered will be an engine service overview and unique model-specific service considerations. Students also will learn about BMW Motorrad diagnostic equipment technology for service technicians. Also covered will be procedures for reviewing software status as well as programming and coding procedures.
BMW MOTORRAD: SECTION 3
Demonstrate your newly acquired knowledge of BMW Motorrad products as you explore the interactive BMW Motorrad technician prove-out. Students will demonstrate their mastery of what they have learned while experiencing what it will be like to work in a BMW dealership. Students receive repair orders and go to work on BMW motorcycles just like they would in an actual service department.
BMW MOTORRAD: SECTION 2
Become familiar with all the skills necessary to service, diagnose and repair modern BMW motorcycles. Students will learn how to perform the first required service procedures.

Students then will progress to more advanced service techniques as they learn how to service and diagnose BMW ABS brake systems. Students will receive repair orders and go to work on BMW motorcycles just like they would as a BMW motorcycle technician in an actual service department.
BMW MOTORRAD: SECTION 4
Perform coding and programming on new control modules and update existing software levels to the latest versions. After reviewing the basics of BMW ignition, charging and starting systems, students will delve deeply into engine management systems, service and repair.
