ection: from the front toward

only, without backing plate.
The wear indicators (grooves)
must be clearly visible.)
If the brake pads are worn:
WARNING
Brake-pad thickness less
than permissible minimum
Diminished braking effect,
damage to the brakes
In order to ensure the de-
pendability of the brake
system, do not permit the
brake pads to wear past the
minimum permissible thick-
ness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad retailer.
If the brake pads installed are
not genuine BMW Motorrad
brake pads, it is absolutely es-
sential to measure the thick-
ness of the brake-pad carrier
plates.
WARNING
Use of unsuitable brake
pads
Failure of the brake system
due to loss of the brake pads
Use only brake pads with
brake pad carrier plates of
adequate thickness.
BMW Motorrad recommends
installing only genuine
BMW Motorrad brake pads.
