BMW K1600GTL User Manual

Visually inspect the brake pads
to ascertain their thickness.
Viewing direction: from below
toward brake pads 1.
Brake-pad wear limit,
rear
min 1.0 mm (Friction pad only,
without backing plate. Do not
permit wear to progress to the
point at which the wear indic-
ators (grooves) are reached.)
If the wear indicating mark is no
longer visible:
WARNING
Brake-pad thickness less
than permissible minimum.
Diminished braking effect. Dam-
age to the brakes.
In order to ensure the depend-
ability of the brake system, do
not permit the brake pads to
wear past the minimum per-
missible thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Check brake-fluid level,
front brakes
WARNING
Not enough brake fluid in
brake fluid reservoir.
Considerably reduced braking
power due to air in the brake
system.
Check the brake-fluid level at
regular intervals.
