Brake fluid level, rear
Brake fluid, DOT4
z
It is impermissible for the
brake fluid level to drop be-
low the MIN mark. (Brake-
fluid reservoir horizontal)
If the brake fluid level drops be-
low the permitted level:
A low fluid level in the
brake reservoir can allow air
to penetrate the brake system.
This significantly reduces braking
efficiency.
Check the brake-fluid level at
regular intervals.
Have the defect rectified as
quickly as possible by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
