BMW S 1000 Motorcycles May Lose Front-Wheel Lift Assist medium

Reported 2023-02-03 · Campaign 23V051000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

When a dealer installed a software update on these BMW motorcycles, it may have quietly switched off a rider aid called the front wheel lift-off assistant. That feature belongs to the Dynamic Pro riding mode and helps keep the front wheel down under hard acceleration. Nothing on the bike warned the rider that the setting had changed, so the motorcycle can handle differently than the rider expects. BMW is asking owners to check the setting, and dealers will inspect the bike free.

BMW motorcycles: front brake calipers can leak brake fluid high

Reported 2020-08-13 · Campaign 20V476000 · Model years: 2020

The front brake calipers on these motorcycles — the parts that squeeze the brake pads against the wheel — can leak brake fluid while the bike is parked. Over time that leak lowers the fluid level in the reservoir, and low fluid can weaken your front braking. Because these bikes don't meet the federal motorcycle brake standard, dealers will inspect the front calipers and replace them with an improved version at no cost.
