| MC330524 | 2025-07-31. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN. 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 theframe together. Resulting in little to no axial play allowing axial movement on the swingarm axle. |
