Checking brake pads
Front brake
Have the brake pads replaced
before the minimum allowable
thickness is reached.
For your safety, we recommend
having work on the brake sys-
tem performed by a BMW-certi-
fied workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
• Place the motorcycle on its
center stand, making sure
that the surface is level and
firm
• Visually inspect both brake
pads and the brake caliper
and make sure that they all
bear the same color mark 2
• Visually check brake pad
thickness
Minimum pad thickness:
Wear indicating mark 1 must
be clearly visible on the pads.
– If the wear indicating mark is
no longer clearly visible:
have the brake pads replaced
by a BMW-certified work-
shop, preferably an autho-
rized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
