Brake pads

Checking front brake pad
thickness
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.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Visually inspect the left and
right brake pads to ascertain
their thickness.
Brake-pad wear limit,
front
min 1 mm (Friction pad only,
without backing plate. The
wear indicators (grooves)
must be clearly visible.)
If the wear indicating mark is no
longer clearly visible:
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
