What Happened
The rear wheel on your motorcycle has a bearing that helps the axle turn smoothly. In some 2007-2009 F 800 S and F 800 ST models, this bearing isn't made to the right specs.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bearing wears down, it could affect how well your motorcycle handles and steers, making a crash more likely.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the wheel bearing and replace it with a new one, along with the rear axle, if needed – all for free.
