The wear-indicating
z
marks must be clearly
visible on the pads.

are no longer clearly visible:
Have the brake pads re-
placed by a specialist work-

Checking brake pad
thickness, rear brakes
Brake pads worn past
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-
um permissible thickness.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and place the
motorcycle on its stand.
Visually inspect the brake
pads of the rear brake cal-
iper from the left to ascer-
tain their thickness.
