BMW K1200GT, Rider'S Manual, Page: 109 / 172

Visually inspect the brake
pads from the right to as-
certain their thickness.
Brake-pad thickness,
rear
1 mm (Wear limit, friction
pad only, without backing
plate)
Make sure that the brake
disc is not visible through
the bore in the inboard
brake pad.
If the brake disc is visible:
Have the brake pads re-
placed by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Brake fluid
Check the brake-fluid
level, front brakes
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can al-
low air to penetrate the brake
system. This significantly re-
duces braking efficiency.
Check the brake-fluid level at
regular intervals.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and place
the motorcycle on its centre
stand.
Move the handlebars to the
straight-ahead position.
