carrier plate.)

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

are not worn beyond their mini-
mum thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
at an authorized service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.

firm and hold motorcycle verti-
