On these BMW motorcycles and the C 400 X scooter, the pistons inside the front and rear brake calipers can rust. A rusty piston can stick or drag instead of moving freely, which changes how well the brakes work. Your dealer will replace both the front and rear brake calipers at no charge. The repair has been available since March 2020, so if your bike has never had it done, it is worth calling BMW to check.
BMW is recalling certain 2017-2018 G310R and 2018 G310GS motorcycles. Using and leaning on the side stand over and over can damage the stand itself and the part of the frame it attaches to. If that happens, the motorcycle can tip over on its own while it is parked and standing still, which can injure you or someone standing nearby. Dealers will inspect the frame and install a reinforcement plate and a new side stand, or replace the frame.
