BMW S1000RR 2023 - STOP

Good morning friends.

I am writing to you from Spain, last week I had the satisfaction of buying a new BMW S1000RR 2023.

The surprise came today when they called me from the dealer indicating that they cannot deliver it to me since it has a STOP campaign.

Supposedly the campaign has to do with the brake lever.

Could you help me?

I doubt BMW will release your bike, even if you pay for a stock handbrake and installation.

Just hope the fix or new levers don't take as long as the case cover screws did.

S**t happens, life sometimes goes sideways, no sense getting bent out of shape over it.

Yes. It sucks as I know the torture you must be feeling to be so close to having your bike. But at least it's not a situation where you've paid for something and sort of can't ride it. I'm in that situation. My bike has the intake camshaft recall. But there are currently no parts and the only estimate is maybe March. Granted there is no stop ride order attached to the recall, I am choosing to be more cautious with this. So I've put my bike up on pit stands and haven't ridden it for about 2 months now.

No. They will supply the reworked M levers as the issue affects billet pack bikes and the customer has paid for this option, so they must be corrected with the same. Using a standard lever is not satisfactory (even though the current M is also not). Hopefully parts supply is not an issue which will impact delivery.

Same here in Texas, US. I have completed the paperwork remotely and was on my way to dealership to pick up my baby, when the dealer calls me that they just received Delivery Stop and he cannot sell me the bike! What a bummer! I hope fix is delivered quickly, even if it is just replacing the M brake lever with a stock one (my dealer says they have those in stock) but they have to wait for further instructions from BMW Motorrad

Nothing, no communication from BMW Motorrad as of today, according to my dealer whom I am in touch on daily basis. he wants the bike out of his dealership just as much as I want to ride on it! This sucks big time, we are supposed to have a gorgeous weather (upper 70s) this weekend here in Dallas, but no bike to ride on…

Mine is sitting at the dealer’s floor. Had a chance to sit on it, fire her up. It’s gorgeous and sounds so well! I tried to “bribe” the dealer to sell it to me, with me signing a waiver that I am aware of the brake lever fault, and take all responsibility for whatever would happen, or have the lever replaced by the non-M version. Nothing worked, but hey, at least I tried. Desperate times - desperate measures.
