Oil filter check

[RickS1K]

Down at the dealer this morning, just for an MOT. There's a check going on for oil filters. If it says Made in Brazil then it needs changed... apparently they have changed their minds about using them on 4 cylinder bikes. Nothing urgent, so not a recall, just a campaign

found on the interwebs

"BMW is recalling certain BMW Dealer Service Part Oil Filters designed to fit S1000RR, M1000RR/R/XR, HP4 (Race) motorcycles, and with part number 11427721779-04. The vibration frequencies from certain high-revving four-cylinder motorcycle engines can cause the oil filter to unscrew during riding."

Thanks for the heads up. Checked my stock and they’re all -03 ie made in Austria. J

My bike passed MOT no issues, but it printed out with a massive warning about the recall at the top of the certificate. The staff hadn't seen that before.

Thanks for that. Will check later today.
