Clutch - BMW R 1200 ST User Manual

Vehicles without ABS
In the event of brake pad
wear, the brake fluid level
in the brake-fluid reservoir
falls.c
The brake fluid level must not
fall below the MIN mark. If the
brake fluid level falls below the
MIN mark:
Air can get into the brake
system if there is insuffi-
cient brake fluid in the brake-
fluid reservoir. This leads to a
considerable decrease in
braking performance.
Brake with foresight and
caution, and avoid heavy
braking.c
• Have the fault remedied as
quickly as possible by a cer-
tified workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW motor-
cycle retailer.
Vehicles with ABS
The brake fluid level re-
mains constant despite
wear of the brake pads.c
If the brake fluid level falls -
even above the MIN mark -
this indicates a defect in the
brake system.
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow
air to penetrate the brake sys-
tem. This significantly reduces
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.

erably an authorized
