In affected vehicles, an incorrect bolt may be installed in the clutch release lever of the ASA (AutomatedShift Assistant, SA 022A) transmission. This may result in premature wear to the bolt. At an advanced stage,this wear typically leads to noise concerns and may also cause clutch malfunctions. The affected vehicles have been placed under the delivery stop STOP230007 associated with campaign number 0023220000, which will be lifted upon completion of this technical campaign.

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
In some R 1300 model motorcycles, it has been detected that the rear wheel swingarm has play in theaxial direction. The mounting of the swingarm to the frame is comparable to the F and S model motorcycles. During the mounting of the swingarm axle, this creates different tensions from motorcycle to motorcycle pulling the frame together. Resulting in little to no axial play allowing axial movement on the swingarm axle.

The Vario cases cannot be removed from the vehicle, or the case lids cannot be opened with the keys. To release the mechanism, both to open and to remove the case, the servomotor of the central lockingsystem must also be actuated. Depending on the position of the servomotor and the tolerance of the individual components of the locking mechanism, it could be possible that the key does not turn far enough in the “RELEASE” direction to reach the required end position of the servomotor.

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
Mainly sporadic, isolated but also permanent faults occur in the throttle grip sensor, throttle valve,crankshaft signal, camshaft signal, transmission signal, fuel pressure sensor, gear-lever sensor (GearShift Assistant), oxygen sensor and switching cam. These can result in functional impairments andmalfunctions, fault messages and fault memory entries. Besides isolated defective components, the sporadic faults are often mainly caused by contactproblems and increased contact resistances. These can generally occur along the entire signal pathof the respective affected component, but especially at plug connections. In this context, the plugconnection to the engine control unit has emerged as the main focus of the fault. Analyses of defective parts showed that in many cases the passivation (a production coating) of thepins at the plug-in contact (plug connection) of the engine control unit can result in correspondingfaults. A service solution for cleaning the pins has been created which can considerably improvecontact if implemented correctly. In most cases, this means that exchanging expensive componentslike the DME or the wiring harness can be avoided.
