Rear brake-pad wear
limit
0.04 in (1.0 mm) (Only friction
z
material without carrier plate.)
If wear limit is reached:
Dropping below the mini-
mum pad thickness leads
to reduced braking performance
and may result in damage to the
brakes.
In order to ensure the operating
reliability of the brake system,
make sure that the brake pads
are not worn beyond their mini-
mum thickness.
Have brake pads replaced at
an authorized service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Checking front brake fluid
level
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check brake fluid level
regularly.
OE

firm and place motorcycle on

without center stand

and firm and hold motorcycle
vertically.
Align handlebars so that brake-
fluid reservoir is positioned hor-
izontally.
Check brake fluid level in front
brake-fluid reservoir 1.
The brake fluid level in the
brake-fluid reservoir drops
due to brake pad wear.
