The 2022 BMW S 1000 XR has two recalls, the more serious being a clutch cover that can work loose and leak oil onto hot engine components, raising the risk of a crash or fire.
A software issue also affects this motorcycle: a dealership software update may have silently deactivated the front wheel lift-off assistant, a feature that helps manage wheelie behavior under hard acceleration. Riders who lost this feature without being notified may experience unexpected handling, particularly when accelerating aggressively.
