Topping up engine oil
Damage to the engine
can result if it is oper-
ated without enough oil, but
the same also applies if the oil
level is too high.
Always make sure that the oil
level is correct.
Wipe the area around the
filler neck clean.
Remove oil filler cap 1.
Top up the engine oil until
the level reaches mark A.
To check the oil level, screw
the oil dipstick into the bore
and then remove it.
Install the oil filler cap.

Dependability of the
brake system
A fully functional brake sys-
tem is a basic requirement for
the road safety of your motor-
cycle.
Do not ride the motorcycle if
you have any doubts about
the dependability of the brake
system.
Under these circumstances
have the brake system
checked by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Incorrect working prac-
tices endanger the reli-
ability of the brakes.
Have all work on the brake
system performed by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Checking operation of
brakes
Pull the handbrake lever.
The pressure point must be
clearly perceptible.
Press the footbrake lever.
