Brake system

Reliability

A 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.

Check operation of the

brakes

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.
