General warning light

flashes red once per
second.

ABS warning light flashes
once per second.
Fluid level in at least one wheel
brake circuit too low.
The ABS wheel brake cir-
cuit is a closed system;
you cannot check the fluid lev-
el in this circuit at the brake-
fluid reservoirs.c
Several factors, including very
badly worn brake pads, can
trigger this warning.
Worn brake pads can
lengthen braking dis-
tance by a significant margin.
Think well ahead and brake
carefully; avoid severe
braking.c
Worn brake pads can
damage the brake discs.
Think well ahead and brake
carefully; avoid severe
braking.c
• Stop and check the thick-
ness of the brake pads
( 100).
b
• Have worn brake pads
replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.
If brake pad thickness is
sufficient:
• Check the following func-
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 is
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.
