Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Brake pads worn past
the minimum permissible
brake-pad thickness can cause
a reduction in braking efficiency
and under certain circumstances
they can cause damage to the
brake system.
In order to ensure the dependab-
ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
brake-pad thickness.
Visually inspect rear brake
pads 1 from behind to
ascertain their thickness.
Brake-pad wear limit, rear
min 1 mm (Friction pad only,
without backing plate)
The wear indicators must be
clearly visible.
If the wear indicating marks are
no longer visible:
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Brake fluid
Checking brake-fluid
level, front brakes
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
