If the clutch-fluid level drops:
ATTENTION
Use of unsuitable fluids.
Damage to clutch system.
Do not attempt to top up the
system with fluids of any kind.
Have the defect rectified as
quickly as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Rims and tyres
Checking rims
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Visually inspect the rims for
defects.
Have any damaged rims in-
spected by a specialist work-
shop and replaced if neces-
sary, preferably by an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Checking tyre tread depth
WARNING
Riding with badly worn tyres
Risk of accident due to impaired
handling
If applicable, have the tyres
changed in good time before
they wear to the minimum
tread depth permitted by law.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Measure the tyre tread depth
in the main tread grooves with
wear marks.
NOTICE
Wear indicators are built into the
main profile grooves on each
tyre. The tyre is worn out when
the tyre tread has worn down
to the level of the marks. The
locations of the marks are indic-
ated on the edge of the tyre, e.g.
by the letters TI, TWI or by an
arrow.
If the tyre tread is worn to min-
imum:
Replace tyre or tyres, as applic-
able.
