To what extent is the braking effect of my BMW CE 02 impaired in wet and dirty conditions?

Decreased braking effect due to moisture and dirt, Risk of accident:

  • Dry brakes or clean them through braking; if necessary, clean them manually.
  • Brake early until the tires have reached their full braking effect again. 

Moisture and dirt on the brake discs and the brake pads result in a decrease in the braking effect. Delayed or decreased braking effect must be expected in the following situations:

  • When riding in the rain and through puddles.
  • After washing the vehicle.
  • When riding on salted roads.
  • After working on the brakes due to oil or grease residues.
  • When riding on soiled roads or offroad.
