BMW Recalls 2007 2009 K1200 and R1200 Series Motorcycles for Brake Line Problem

BMW is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 R1200 and K1200 series motorcycles manufactured from August 2006 through May 2009.

15532 units are affected.

FEATURES from 2007 Yamaha r6go to Yamaha r6
• Cylinder head design features ultra lightweight titanium valves for both intake and exhaust. The intake valves are 27mm in diameter while the exhaust valves are 23mm.
• Single intake valve springs reduce weight and "friction" for optimum high rpm performance. • Lightweight magnesium head and case covers reduce weight.
• Lightweight forged pistons feature thin top rings for great high rpm power. The lightweight design means fast engine response.
