BMW ISSUED A STOP SALE RECALL FOR MY S1000XR AS WELL AS THE S1000RR SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE BRAKE CALIPERS. WHEN NEW, BOTH OF THESE BIKES CAME WITH THE SAME BRAKE CALIPERS.

BOTH OF THESE MOTORCYCLES ARE SOLD AS BEING READY TO USE ON RACE TRACKS, BUT THE REPLACEMENT BRAKES FOR THE S1000XR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THAT USE.
