ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Checking brake-pad
thickness, parking brake
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the Maxi-
Scooter on its stand.
Visually inspect the brake pads
to ascertain their thickness.
Viewing direction: from the
right toward brake pads 1.
Brake-pad wear limit of
parking brake
min 1.0 mm (The wear indic-
ators (grooves) must be clearly
visible.)
If the brake pads are worn past
the minimum permissible thick-
ness:
If the brake pads are per-
mitted to wear past the
minimum permissible thickness
braking performance is reduced
and there is the possibility of the
Maxi-Scooter moving even with
the side stand extended.
In order to avoid the risk of the
Maxi-Scooter toppling off its
stand, do not permit the brake
pads to wear past the specified
minimum thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Checking brake-fluid
level, front brakes
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check the brake-fluid level at
regular intervals.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the Maxi-
Scooter on its centre stand.
