BMW Motorrad recommends
installing only genuine
BMW Motorrad brake pads.
Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Visually inspect the brake pads
to ascertain their thickness.
Viewing direction: from the rear
toward brake pads 1.
Brake-pad wear limit,
rear
min 1.0 mm (Friction pad only,
without backing plate.)
If the wear indicating mark is no
longer visible:
WARNING
Brake-pad thickness less
than permissible minimum
Diminished braking effect, dam-
age to the brakes
In order to ensure the depend-
ability of the brake system, do
not permit the brake pads to
wear past the minimum per-
missible thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Checking brake-fluid
level, front brakes
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
cycle upright.
Move the handlebars to the
straight-ahead position.
