  Summary

  Coolant pump drain hose. Details The coolant pump is fitted with a radial shaft seal on the oil-side and on the coolant-side is a mechanical seal. Mechanical seals are reliable an durable, yet for technical reasons, they always exhibit minor seepage. The seepage amount is considered to be within permissible limits if the coolant does not need to be topped up between service intervals. The drain hole (arrow in the figure) of the coolant pump is in plain view. Even small, inevitable seepage is noticed and often perceived to be a faulty coolant pump. In many such cases, fault-free coolant pumps are replaced. In order to reduce misdiagnosis and repeat repairs, a drain hose is retrofitted. The hose diverts the seepage away from the field of view to under the engine. Yet large amounts of leakage that indicate a faulty coolant pump will be noticed.

  Summary

  BMW Motorrad has ascertained that faulty washers [see (2) and (4) in the illustration] were fitted on the threaded fastener of the swinging-arm axle. The washers are too large (inside and outside diameters are 2 mm oversize). This can result in the threaded fastener not being sufficiently preloaded, however, it is not possible for the threaded fastener to work loose because the nut is self locking (captive).
