Defect

Safety 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.
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.
