2
cient:
• Check the following func-
30
tions:
– Ignition off, brake pressure
present at the brake levers.
– Brakes acting on both
wheels.
– Brake system leaktight, no
signs of brake fluid escap-
ing.
If any of the above criteria are
not satisfied:
There is a defect in the
brake system.
Do not continue to ride.c
If these criteria are satisfied,
you can continue riding. How-
ever, bear in mind that a loss
of brake fluid that cannot be
detected might be the cause
of the warning.
There is a fault in the
brake system that can
lead to decreased braking
efficiency.
Think well ahead and brake
carefully; avoid severe brak-
ing.c
• Have the fault rectified as
soon as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably
an authorized
BMW motorcycle retailer.
