Checking rear brake pad
thickness
Dropping below the mini-
mum pad thickness leads
to reduced braking performance
and may result in damage to the
brakes.
In order to ensure the operating
reliability of the brake system,
make sure that the brake pads
are not worn beyond their mini-
mum thickness.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Visually check brake pad thick-
ness 1 from rear.
Rear brake-pad wear limit
min 0.04 in (min 1 mm) (On-
ly friction material without
carrier plate)
Wear indicators must be
clearly visible.
If the wear indicating mark is no
longer visible:
Have brake pads replaced by a
specialized workshop, prefer-
ably an authorized BMW Mo-
torrad retailer.
