BMW G 650 GS Rider's Manual page 73

Visually inspect the brake pads
to ascertain their thickness.
Viewing direction: Between the
spokes toward brake caliper 1.
Brake disc thickness,
front
min 1.0 mm (Friction pad
only, without backing
plate. The wear indicators
(grooves) must be clearly
visible.)
If the wear indicating marks are
no longer clearly visible:
Brake pads worn past the
minimum permissible thick-
ness can cause a reduction in
braking efficiency and under
certain circumstances they can
cause damage to the brake sys-
tem.
In order to ensure the dependab-
ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
thickness.
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
