Brake pads
Checking front 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 motorcycle.
Visually inspect left and right
brake pads to ascertain their
thickness. Direction of view:
between wheel and fork tube
at brake caliper.
Front brake-pad wear
limit
min 0.04 in (min 1 mm) (On-
ly friction material without
carrier plate)
Wear markings (grooves)
must be clearly visible.
If wear indicating marks are no
longer clearly visible:
Have brake pads replaced by a
specialized workshop, prefer-
ably an authorized BMW Mo-
torrad retailer.
