Front brake
Have brake pads replaced be-
fore the minimum allowable
thickness is reached.
For your safety, we recommend
having work on the brake sys-
tem performed by a specialized
workshop, preferably an autho-
rized BMW motorcycle retailer.
• Visually inspect the brake
pads from in front
• Check brake pad thickness
Minimum pad thickness:
Wear indicating marks 1 must
be clearly visible on the pads.
– If the wear indicating mark is
no longer clearly visible:
have the brake pads replaced
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized
BMW motorcycle retailer.
