not fall below the MIN mark.

tal, motorcycle standing up-
right)
If brake fluid level falls below the
approved level:
Have the defect corrected as
soon as possible by an autho-
rized workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad re-
tailer.
Checking rear 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 place motorcycle on
its center stand.
