If no clear pressure points are
perceptible:
Have the brakes checked at an
authorized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
Checking front brake pad
thickness
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Visually inspect left and right
brake pads from the front to
determine their thickness. Di-
rection of view: between wheel
and front suspension to brake
calipers.
Front brake-pad wear
limit
Min 0.04 in (min 1.0 mm)
(Only friction material
without carrier plate. Wear
markings (grooves) must be
clearly visible.)
If the wear indicators are no
longer clearly visible:
Dropping below the mini-
mum pad thickness leads
to reduced braking performance
and may result in damage to the
brakes.
In order to ensure the operating
reliability of the brake system,
make sure that the brake pads
are not worn beyond their mini-
mum thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
