What Happened
The 'Dynamic Pro' feature on your motorcycle helps with stability while cornering. In some 2020-2023 S 1000XR and 2022-2023 S 1000R models, this feature might have been turned off without your knowledge during a software update.
Risk if Unfixed
If the 'front wheel lift-off assistant' is off, you might not be able to control your motorcycle as easily, particularly during sharp turns. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect your motorcycle and check the riding mode settings. If needed, they'll adjust the settings for you, and the service is free. Expect an owner notification letter, and you can also call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
