Visually inspect the left and
right brake pads to ascertain
their thickness. Viewing direc-
tion: Between wheel and front
suspension toward the brake
calipers.
Brake-pad wear limit,
front
1.0 mm (Friction pad only,
without backing plate. The
wear indicators (grooves)
must be clearly visible.)
If the wear indicating marks are
no longer clearly visible:
Brake pads worn past the
minimum permissible thick-
ness can cause a reduction in
braking efficiency and under
certain circumstances they can
cause damage to the brake sys-
tem.
In order to ensure the dependab-
ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
