Checking rear brake pad
thickness
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.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park the motorcycle.
Check the brake pad thickness
on the rear brake caliper
1 with
visual inspection from the left.
Rear brake-pad wear limit
0.04 in (1 mm) (Only friction
material without carrier plate)
Brake disk must not be vis-
ible through bore hole of in-
ner brake pad.
If brake disk is visible:
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW
Motorrad retailer.
