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 front brake fluid
level
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check brake fluid level
regularly.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and hold motorcycle verti-
cally.
Check brake fluid level in front
brake-fluid reservoir

The brake fluid level in the

tailer.
