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 motor-
cycle on its side stand.
Turn the handlebars all the way
to the right
Check the brake fluid level in
front reservoir 1.
The brake fluid level in the
brake fluid reservoir drops
as the brake pads wear.

cialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
