Front brake pad thickness
The brake pads must have
a clearly visible wear indi-
cating mark.
If the wear indicating mark is
no longer clearly visible:
Have brake pads replaced
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized
BMW motorcycle retailer.
Checking brake pad
thickness at rear
Continuing to use brake
pads beyond the mini-
mum pad thickness leads to
reduced braking power and
under certain circumstances
to brake damage.
In order to ensure the operat-
ing reliability of the brake sys-
tem, make sure that the brake
pads are not worn beyond
their minimum thickness.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Perform a visual inspection
of the brake pad thickness
from the right.
Rear brake pad thickness
Brake disk must not be vis-
ible through bore hole of
inner brake pad.
