Weld spatter on the frame and/or adverse routing in the vicinity of the banjo bolt of the hydraulic spring base adjuster can result in chafing of the wiring harness. If this goes unnoticed, in extreme cases it can result in a broken wire or shorting and lead to malfunctions. See figures 1-3.

In order to determine if a specific motorcycle is affected by this Technical Campaign, it will be necessary to verify all motorcycle VINs through a DCS Vehicle History Check. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action. When a motorcycle is found to be affected by this Technical Campaign: 1) Use side-cutting nippers to remove the cable tie or ties at the bracket of the adjuster knob. 2) Examine the wiring harness for signs of damage in this region. If chafing is visible, re-wrap the wiring harness with fabric tape 61 13 6 902 588. If individual wires have suffered damage, re-pair them with push-in connectors [as described in SIB 61 002 06 (013)]. 3) Examine the frame for weld spatter. Weld spatter on the welded-in round tube is critical, and the same applies to weld spatter on the inboard side of the rectangular section frame tube (see Figure 1). Remove weld spatter, if present, with a scraper or chisel. Usually only a small amount of force is necessary to chip off weld spatter. Touch up damage to the paintwork with a touch-up pencil, for example BMW part number 51 91 0 302 241 (concealed areas). 4) Use two cable ties (as shown in Figures 4 & 5) to secure the wiring harness to the bracket of the adjuster knob, making sure that the wiring harness is routed clear of the banjo bolt by a sufficient margin.
