Maintenance

Vehicles without ABS

In the event of brake pad

wear, the brake fluid level

in the brake-fluid reservoir

falls.c

The brake fluid level must not

fall below the MIN mark. If the

brake fluid level falls below the

MIN mark:

Air can get into the brake

system if there is insuffi-

cient brake fluid in the brake-

fluid reservoir. This leads to a

considerable decrease in

braking performance.

Brake with foresight and

caution, and avoid heavy

braking.c

• Have the fault remedied as

quickly as possible by a cer-

tified workshop, preferably

an authorized BMW motor-

cycle retailer.

Vehicles with ABS

The brake fluid level re-

mains constant despite

wear of the brake pads.c

If the brake fluid level falls -

even above the MIN mark -

this indicates a defect in the

brake system.

A low fluid level in the

brake reservoir can allow

air to penetrate the brake sys-

tem. This significantly reduces

braking efficiency.

Think well ahead and brake

carefully; avoid severe brak-

ing.c

• Have the fault rectified as

soon as possible by a spe-

cialist workshop, preferably

an authorized

BMW motorcycle retailer.

Clutch

Checking operation

• Pull the clutch lever.

» The pressure point must be

clearly perceptible.

Do not ride the motorcycle if

you have any doubts about the

dependability of the clutch. In

this case:

• Have the clutch checked by

a specialist workshop, pref-

erably an authorized

BMW motorcycle retailer.
