If there is too little brake
fluid in the brake-fluid
reservoir, air can enter the
brake system. This causes a
serious reduction in braking
efficiency.
Think well ahead and brake
carefully; avoid severe
braking.c
Under normal operating condi-
tions the brake fluid level can-
not drop below the MIN mark.
• Check the brake pads.
• Check the brake system for
leaks.
• Have the fault rectified as
soon as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.

the MIN mark, is indicative of a
fault in the brake system.If the
brake fluid level falls:
• Have the fault rectified as
soon as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.

erably an authorised
