Rear brake-pad wear lim-
it
0.04 in (1.0 mm) (Only fric-
tion material without carrier
plate. Brake disk must not
be visible through bore hole
of inner brake pad.)
If brake disk is 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.
Brake pad wear
The rear brake has a brake-pad
wear indicator.
Shaft
1
with three marker rings
2
is between the brake pads.
How to interpret the marks:
Three rings visible: brake-pad
thickness is at least 75 %
Two rings visible: brake-pad
thickness is at least 50 %
One ring visible: brake-pad
thickness is at least 25 %
No rings visible: brake pads
worn to wear limit; check as
described above
Brake fluid
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 hold motorcycle verti-
cally.
