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.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11022848-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11022848-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11022848","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"suspension","name":"Suspension","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"R 1300 GS","year_from":2025,"year_to":2025,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2025_bmw_r-1300-gs"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"R 1300 GS ADVENTURE","year_from":2025,"year_to":2025,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2025_bmw_r-1300-gs-adventure"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"R 1300 RS","year_from":2026,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2026_bmw_r-1300-rs"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"R 1300 RT","year_from":2026,"year_to":2026,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2026_bmw_r-1300-rt"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
