Rear brake-pad wear
limit
min 0.04 in (min 1.0 mm)
(Only friction material with-
out carrier plate. Do not
permit wear to progress
to the point at which the
wear indicators (grooves) are
reached.)
If the wear indicating mark is no
longer visible:
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.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW
Motorrad retailer.
Checking front 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.
Read off brake fluid level at
front brake-fluid reservoir
1
.
The brake fluid level in the
brake-fluid reservoir drops
due to brake pad wear. The de-
creasing fluid level is compen-
sated with an easy-to-see black
rubber bellows.
