It's been found that these critical components can leak when a bike is parked, which can lead to a dangerous loss in stopping power if the fluid reservoir gets depleted. A stop-sale has been issued for new models as well.</p><p class="speakableTextP2">This call-back applies to a range of different motorcycles including the R 1250 GS, R 1250 GS Adventure, R 1250 RT, S 1000 RR and the S 1000 XR. All affected vehicles are from the 2019 and 2020 model years and were produced from August 2018 to February of this year. </p><span>
