Descending mountain

passes

There is a danger of the

brakes fading if you use

only the rear brakes when

descending mountain passes.

Under extreme conditions, the

brakes could overheat and suffer

severe damage.

The BMW integrated braking

function ensures that the rear

wheel brake is also applied when

the handbrake lever is actuated,

thus providing protection against

overheating. Simply apply the

front wheel brake and use the

engine brake.

Wet, soiled brakes

Moisture and dirt on the brake

disks and the brake pads result in

a decrease in the braking action.

Delayed or poorer braking action

must be expected in the follow-

ing situations:

When driving in the rain and

through puddles.

After washing the motorcycle.

When driving on roads spread

with salt.

After working on the brakes

due to oil or grease residues.

When driving on soiled roads

or offroad.

Poor braking action due to

moisture and dirt.

Brake until brakes are dry or

clean; clean if necessary.

Brake early until the full braking

action is available again.
