BMW is recalling 30 MY 2008 K1200 S and K1200 GT motorcycles. A set screw may not have been installed at its specific location within the oil duct. Consequently, an adequate supply of oil may not circulate within the engine. It is possible that the connecting rod and crankshaft damage could occur. If this happened, the engine could seize. If the motorcycle was in gear, engine seizing could result in lock-up of the rear tire, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will install a set screw in the oil duct. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-331-1117. 08V-239

BMW is recalling 1,980 MY 2007-2008 F800 S and F800 ST motorcycles. Due to the routing of the fuel tank breather hose, pressure equalization inside the fuel tank is possible only to a limited extent. Consequently, at high ambient temperatures, the fuel tank can deform. If this happened at the point where the fuel tank is shaped to provide clearance for the rear wheel, then, in combination with a large payload, the bottom of the tank could rub against the rear wheel. If this occurred, it is possible that a leak could develop in the tank. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will reroute the fuel tank breather hose. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-331-1117. 08V-241

BMW is recalling 75 MY 2008 K1200 S and GT motorcycles. The fasteners used to secure the front brake-disc may not be long enough to ensure a secure mounting. Over time, these fasteners could loosen. If that happened, the brake disc would no longer be securely mounted. Failure to observe the following precautions, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and install a longer front brake disc fasteners and reroute the sensor cable. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117. 08V-245

American Suzuki is recalling 9,109 MY 2008 GSX1300R motorcycles. Improper routing of the ignition switch wiring harness can cause a bent portion of the wiring harness to flex rather than slide when the handlebar is moved from right to left or left to right. Repeated side-to-side movement of the handlebar, and flexing of the bent portion wiring harness, can eventually cause the ignition switch lead wires to become cut or break. This can result in intermittent or complete loss of electrical power, which can result in loss of lighting and/or stalling of the engine, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the lower portion of the ignition switch (which contains the ignition switch lead wires) and will make sure that the wiring harness is properly routed. The recall began on June 10, 2008. Owners may contact American Suzuki at 1-800-255-2550. 08V-249

Ducati is recalling 3,614 MY 2007-2008 Models 1098, 1098S, and 1098 Tricolore motorcycles. The rear drive sprocket can fail. If the sprocket were to fail while the motorcycle is being driven, it is possible that the motorcycle will experience a sudden loss of power and/or the chain may become entangled with the chassis. This can result in a crash without prior warning. Dealers will replace the rear drive sprocket. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact Ducati at 1-408-253-0499. 08V-253

BMW is recalling 3,248 MY 2007-2008 R1200 R, MY 2006-2007 R1200 GS and MY 2007 R1200 ST motorcycles. Due to the current routing of the front brake lines, it is possible that during riding, the brake lines could be under strain. If the vibration/strain is significant, the brake lines could split and start to develop a leak. If the leak became significant, brake fluid could escape. If this happened, the level of fluid in the reservoir of the front brake system could drop. If the fluid level drops significantly, the front brakes could fail increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and install new brake lines with a modified routing. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact BMW at

Buell is recalling 1,579 MY 2008 1125R motorcycles. These vehicles can experience 5th gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication. This condition can allow the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This could result in a crash, which could cause injury or death to the rider. Dealers will inspect and repair the affected motorcycles. The recall is expected to begin during July 2008. Owners may contact Buell motorcycles at 1-414-343-8400. 08V-267
