Checking brake fluid level

On a motorcycle equipped
with BMW Integral ABS, the
brake fluid level in the reser-
voir does NOT drop as the
brake pads wear (b 35, 36).

Have the brake system
checked immediately by an
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer, if the brake fluid level
in the reservoir of the brake
system drops below the MIN
mark (b 35, 36).
OE
Optional equipment
Changing brake fluid

Brake fluid is exposed to
severe thermal loads, and
absorbs moisture from the
atmosphere.
Consequently, the brake fluid
must be changed regularly
(see the Maintenance Instruc-
tions
b Chapter 1) by an au-
thorized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
