In the event of brake pad
wear, the brake fluid level
in the brake-fluid reservoir
falls.
c
The brake fluid level must not
fall below the
MIN
mark. If the
brake fluid level falls below the
MIN
mark:
Air can get into the brake
system if there is insuffi-
cient brake fluid in the brake-
fluid reservoir. This leads to a
considerable decrease in
braking performance.
Brake with foresight and
caution, and avoid heavy
braking.
c
• Have the fault remedied as
quickly as possible by a cer-
tified workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.

wear, the brake fluid level

system if there is insuffi-
cient brake fluid in the brake-
fluid reservoir. This leads to a
considerable decrease in
braking performance.
Brake with foresight and
caution, and avoid heavy
braking.
c
• Have the fault remedied as
quickly as possible by a cer-
tified workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.
