Brake system, generalReliabilityA fully functional brake sys-
tem is a basic requirement for
the road safety of your motor-
cycle.

you have any doubts about
the dependability of the brake
system.

checked by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.

tices endanger the reli-
ability of the brakes.

system performed by a spe-

Checking brake pad
thickness, rear brakes
Brake pads worn past
the minimum permissible
thickness can cause a reduc-
tion in braking efficiency and
under certain circumstances
they can cause damage to
the brake system.
In order to ensure the de-
pendability of the brake sys-
tem, do not permit the brake
pads to wear past the minim-
um permissible thickness.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and place the
motorcycle on its stand. Visually inspect the brake
pads from the right to as-
certain their thickness.
Rear brake pads, ma-
terial thickness
Wear limit

BulbsGeneral instructionsThe 'bulb defect' symbol ap-
pears in the display if a bulb
is defective. If the brake or
rear light fails, the symbol is
accompanied by the general
warning light, which lights up
yellow. If the rear light fails
the second filament of the
brake light shines at reduced
brightness to double as a rear
light. Even though you have
7108zMaintenance

this substitute rear light, the
indicators in the display tell
you that a bulb defect has oc-
curred.A defective bulb places
your safety at risk be-
cause it is easier for other
users to oversee you and
your motorcycle.
Replace defective bulbs as
soon as possible; always
carry a complete set of spare
bulbs if possible.
The bulb is pressurised
and can cause injury if
damaged.
Wear protective goggles
and gloves when changing
bulbs.
The types of bulb fitted
to your motorcycle are
listed in the section entitled
"Technical data". Do not touch the glass
of new bulbs with your
fingers. Use a clean, dry cloth
to hold the bulbs when hand-
ling them. Dirt deposits, in
particular oil and grease, in-
terfere with heat radiation
from the bulb. This leads to
overheating and shortens the
bulb's operating life.
