What is wrong

BMW is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 g 650 x country, g 650 x challenge, and g650 x moto motorcycles manufactured from november 29, 2006 through may 19, 2008. Over time, the roll gear pin's mounting attachment could break.

The risk

If this occurs, it would be possible for fragments of the attachment to become trapped between the drive chain and the rear sprocket. The rear wheel could lock up, possibly resulting in a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the roll gear pin's mounting attachments free of charge. The safety recall began on august 30, 2010. Owners may contact BMW at 1-[removed].
