| MC54149738 | 2018-11-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Instrument cluster control unit fault. Fault 938c is stored in the fault code memory of the cluster. This is a spurious fault entry. |
| MC3200114 | 2018-11-05. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. In the framework of quality monitoring, BMW Motorrad has ascertained that in some cases the clutch switch can trip before the clutch has fully disengaged. This is due to an incorrect cam-lobe contour on the clutch lever. For this reason, as of May 2014 the switch had been modified in such a way as to correct the switching point. Subsequently installing a clutch lever with the correct cam-lobe contour on one of these vehicles would change the switching point outside the tolerance window. |
