What This Recall Means

Component

What Happened

The drive chain in your F650 GS or F 800 GS motorcycle connects the engine to the rear wheel. It's like a long, flexible rod that helps your bike move. Unfortunately, some of these chains weren't made to the right standards.

Risk if Unfixed

If the drive chain breaks, it could get stuck between the rear wheel and the frame. This might cause the rear wheel to lock up, making it harder to control the bike and increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will replace the drive chain and sprockets with new, reliable parts – at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
