2 MIN
mark
The clutch fluid level must not
fall below the
MIN
mark. If the
fluid level falls below the
MIN
mark, the clutch system must
be checked immediately.
If the clutch fluid level falls -
even above the
MIN
mark -
this indicates a defect in the
clutch system.
• Have the fault remedied as
quickly as possible by a cer-
tified workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.
The fluid level in the
reservoir falls as the
clutch wears. c
Unsuitable hydraulic
fluids could cause
damage to the clutch system.
No fluids may be filled.

The clutch system is filled
with a special hydraulic
fluid that does not require
changing.
