The Bavarians are rolling some of their 2023 offerings back into the shop for a bit of tweaking in the software department.

After a recall was sent out affecting software on their 2020-2023 BMW S 1000 XR And 2022-2023 S 1000 R models, BMW found that wheelie control was being turned off without indication in the dash; the malfunction happened after a recent software update, rendering all affected bikes at greater risk of an accident.*

How many are ‘all affected bikes,” do you ask?

Remove ‘affected,’ and you’re apparently spot-on – for the relevant model years, that is.

A view of a 2023 BMW S1000 XR. Media sourced from Youtube.“Approximately 754 total motorcycles in North America are believed to be affected, which represents 100% of the population,” states the report from RideApart.*

“This includes 270 2022 through 2023 S 1000 R and 484 2020 through 2023 S 1000 XR models that received software updates at dealers.”

If you know someone with one of these bikes, tell them that the problem stems from a dealer-only software update and that Dynamic Pro – a custom mode under Riding Modes Pro – is reset without any visual indicator under this error.*

February 3 of this year marks the date BMW has told dealerships to bring the bikes in for a refresh.*
