The defect

The risk
Loosening of the chain tensioner and the rear wheel axle may occur. this could lead to a condition in which the motorcycle IS unstable, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will install a new right side chain tensioner free of charge. the recall began on november 13, 2007. owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
