Oil-free and grease-free
brakes
Brake disks and pads must be
free from oil and grease.
Dirt on the brakes
When riding on loose surfaces
or muddy roads, the brakes
may fail to take effect immedi-
ately because of dirt or mois-
ture on the disks or brake pads.
The brakes must first be
applied until the disks and
pads are clean.
Dirt on the brakes increases
the rate of pad wear.
Brake system - general
If the brake lever can be
moved right to the limit of its
travel without producing
braking action (i.e. without
resistance), a mechanical or
hydraulic fault may exist.
Immediately consult an
authorized BMW motorcycle
retailer.
