only, without backing plate.

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-

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.
