thickness, rear brakes
Brake pads worn past
88
the minimum permissible
thickness can cause a reduc-
tion in braking efficiency and
under certain circumstances
they can cause damage to
the brake system.
In order to ensure the de-
pendability of the brake sys-
tem, do not permit the brake
pads to wear past the minim-
z
um permissible thickness.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and place the
motorcycle on its stand.
Visually inspect brake
pads 1 from the right to
ascertain their thickness.
Brake-pad wear limit,

The wear indicators must
be clearly visible.
If the wear indicating mark is
no longer visible:
Have the brake pads re-
placed by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
