BMW R 1200 GS 2014 Rider's Manual page 113

Visually inspect left and right
brake pads to determine their
thickness. Viewing direction:
between wheel and front
suspension toward brake
pads 1.
Front brake-pad wear
limit
0.04 in (1.0 mm) (Only friction
material without carrier plate.
Wear markings (grooves) must
be clearly visible.)
If the wear indicators are no
longer clearly visible:
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 the brake pads replaced
at an authorized service facil-
ity, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Park the motorcycle, ensuring
that the support surface is firm
and level.
