have any doubts about the de-
pendability of the brake system.
In this case, have the brake sys-
tem checked by a specialized
workshop, preferably by an au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Incorrect working practices
endanger the reliability of
the brakes.

tem performed by a specialized
workshop, preferably by an au-
thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
