Brake pads
Brake pads worn past the
minimum permissible
thickness can impair braking
efficiency and under certain
circumstances they can cause
damage to the brake system.
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.c
Checking front brake pad
thickness
• Make sure the ground is
level and firm and place the
motorcycle on its centre
stand or side stand.
• Visually inspect the left and
right brake pads to ascertain
their thickness.
Wear indicating marks 1 must
be clearly visible on the pads.
If the wear indicating marks
are no longer clearly visible:
• Have the brake pads
replaced by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer.
