- Vehicle description: motorcycles equipped with chrome-plated frames. Copper residue can remain in the tapped hole where the upper fork bridge attaches to the frame. Moisture can cause corrosion to occur between the copper residue and the aluminum frame. The stress of the connecting bolt attaching the upper fork to the frame could then decrease, leading to loosening, and ultimately, breakage of the bolt.
- Risk
- If this happened, the dynamic stability of the motorcycle would be affected and a loss of control could occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will ream the hole in the frame head and install a helicoil thread insert and a new bolt. Owner notification began december 13, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1‑800‑831‑1117, option #4.
