BMW R1100S: Brakes

Affects BMW R1100S · 1999 — about 124 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, incorrect thread locking material applied during assembly could cause the rear brake linkage ball end, which is screwed into the rear brake lever, to loosen and eventually detach during vehicle operation. If this should occur, the rear brake could no longer be applied. Correction: Brake linkage ball end will be removed from the brake lever and reinstalled with a different thread locking compound, to prevent the ball end from loosening.
