Dependability of the
brake system
A fully functional brake sys-
tem is a basic requirement for
the road safety of your motor-
cycle.

checked by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad

tices endanger the reli-
ability of the brakes.

system performed by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
