Brake system, generalReliabilityA fully functional brake system is
a basic requirement for the road
safety of your motorcycle.
Do not ride the motorcycle if you
have any doubts about the de-
pendability of the brake system.
Under these circumstances have
the brake system checked by a specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Incorrect working practices
endanger the reliability of
the brakes.
Have all work on the brake sys-
tem performed by a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.

Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Brake pads worn past
the minimum permissible
brake-pad thickness can cause
a reduction in braking efficiency
and under certain circumstances
they can cause damage to the
brake system.
In order to ensure the dependab-
ility of the brake system, do not
permit the brake pads to wear
past the minimum permissible
brake-pad thickness.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand. Visually inspect the brake pads
from the right to ascertain their
thickness.
Brake-pad wear limit, rear
min 1 mm (Friction pad only,
without backing plate)
Make sure that the brake
disc is not visible through
the bore in the inboard brake
block.
If the brake disc is visible: Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop, preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Brake fluidChecking brake-fluid
level, front brakes
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.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
cycle upright.
with OA Centre stand:
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand.
