Möglicher Bremsleistungsverlust an der
Vorderradbremse.
Nach allen Arbeiten, die Einfluss auf den
Flüssigkeitsstand im vorderen Bremskreislauf
haben (z. B. Bremsbeläge erneuern oder
Bremsflüssigkeit wechseln), muss der
Gittereinsatz 1im vorderen Ausgleichsbehälter für
Bremsflüssigkeit erneuert werden. Wenden Sie
sich dazu an eine Fachwerkstatt, am besten an
einen BMW Motorrad Partner.
Possible loss of stopping power at front brake.
Screen insert 1in the front brake-fluid reservoir always has to be replaced on
completion of work that affects the level of fluid in the front braking circuit (for example
replacing brake pads or changing brake fluid). Please contact a specialized workshop for
this purpose, preferably an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Perte possible d'efficacité du frein avant. Après des travaux qui influent sur le niveau
de liquide de frein dans le circuit de frein avant (p. ex. remplacement des plaquettes
ou renouvellement du liquide de frein), il est impératif de remplacer la grille 1à l'intérieur du
réservoir de liquide de frein avant. Adressez-vous pour cela à un atelier spécialisé, de
préférence à un concessionnaire BMW Motorrad.

Posible pérdida de la capacidad de frenado en el freno de la rueda delantera. Una
vez finalizados todos los trabajos que influyen en el nivel de líquido del circuito de
freno delantero (p. ej., cambio de las pastillas de freno o del líquido de frenos), se tiene que
sustituir la rejilla 1del depósito de compensación delantero para el líquido de frenos. Para
ello, póngase en contacto con un taller especializado, preferentemente un concesionario
de motocicletas BMW.
Possibile diminuzione dell'effetto frenante del freno della ruota anteriore. Dopo aver
eseguito tutti i lavori che comportano delle variazioni nel livello del liquido nel
circuito freni anteriore (ad es. sostituzione delle pastiglie o del liquido freni), occorre
sostituire l'inserto 1nel serbatoio di espansione del liquido freni. Rivolgersi a tal fine ad
un'officina autorizzata, preferibilmente ad un Concessionario BMW Motorrad.
Framhjulsbromsens bromseffekt kan försämras. Efter alla arbeten som påverkar
vätskenivån i den främre bromskretsen (t.ex. byte av bromsbelägg eller
hydraulvätska) måste gallerinsats 1i det främre expansionskärlet för hydraulvätska bytas ut.
Kontakta en fackverkstad för detta, företrädesvis en BMW Motorrad-partner.
Mogelijk verlies van remvermogen van de voorrem. Na alle reparaties, die invloed
kunnen hebben op het remvloeistofpeil in het voorremcircuit (bijv. remblokken
vervangen of remvloeistof verversen), moet het rasterelement 1in het voorste
remvloeistofreservoir worden vervangen. Hiervoor contact opnemen met een specialist, bij
voorkeur een BMW Motorrad dealer.

Possível perda de eficácia de travagem no travão dianteiro. Depois de se
efectuarem todos os trabalhos que têm influência sobre o nível do líquido no
circuito de travão dianteiro (p. ex., substituir pastilhas de travão ou mudar o óleo dos
travões), é necessário substituir a grelha 1no depósito de compensação dianteiro para o
óleo dos travões. Para o efeito, dirija-se a uma oficina especializada, de preferência a um
concessionário BMW Motorrad.
Etujarrun jarrutusteho saattaa olla heikentynyt. Aina sellaisten töiden jälkeen, joilla
on vaikutusta etujarrupiirin jarrunestemäärään (esimerkiksi jarrupalojen tai
jarrunesteen vaihto), täytyy jarrunesteen etumaisen tasaussäiliön ritilä 1vaihtaa. Käänny
tässä asiassa ammattitaitoisen huoltopisteen, mieluiten BMW Motorrad huoltopisteen
puoleen.

ンインサート 1 を交換してください。交換の詳細については専門の整備工場か、可能な限り BMW

nivo zavorne količine v sprednjem zavornem krogotoku (npr. menjava zavornih
ploščic ali menjava zavorne tekočine), je treba zamenjati mrežasti vložek 1v sprednji
izenačevalni posodi za zavorno tekočino. V zvezi s tem se obrnite na specializirano servisno
delavnico, najbolje na partnerja BMW Motorrad.
