SummaryDuring the pre-delivery check (PDI) or when completing the PDI for the vehicle, the wiring harness is installed and secured in the steering head area. Due to an excess length in the harness to the Keyless ride control module, an unintended loop in the cable may form, which can chafe on other components. The maintenance instructions currently published in Aftersales Information Research (AIR) do not explicitly describe the installation.

Note: the center stand can still be operated manually. The affected motorcycles have been placed under the delivery stop STOP610029 associated with campaign number 0061710000, which will be lifted upon completion of this technical campaign. For vehicles that have not yet been delivered, the service action must be completed before vehiclehandover. If the service action cannot be completed due to a parts, software, or special tool shortage, theservice action then must be performed during the next possible workshop visit when parts, software, orspecial tools become available. In such instances where work cannot be performed, it is essential to informthe customer of the situation. In all instances in which the vehicles have already been handed over to customers, the Technical Campaign must be carried out at the next workshop visit.

SummaryIn some R 1300 model motorcycles, it has been detected that the rear wheel swingarm has play in theaxial direction. The mounting of the swingarm to the frame is comparable to the F and S model motorcycles. During the mounting of the swingarm axle, this creates different tensions from motorcycle to motorcycle pulling the frame together. Resulting in little to no axial play allowing axial movement on the swingarm axle.
