Checking brake pad
thickness, rear brakes
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.
Visually inspect brake pads 1
to ascertain their thickness.
Brake-pad wear limit, rear
min 1.0 mm (Friction pad

If the brake pads are worn:
Have the brake pads replaced
by a specialist workshop,

Motorrad dealer.
