Brake pads
Checking front brake pad
thickness
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.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park the motorcycle.
Visually inspect the left and
right brake pads to ascertain
their thickness. Direction of
view: between wheel and slider
tube through to brake caliper.
Front brake-pad wear
limit
Min 0.04 in (Min 1 mm) (On-
ly friction material without
carrier plate)
Wear markings (grooves)
must be clearly visible.
If the wear indicating marks are
no longer clearly visible:
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW
Motorrad retailer.
