-For U.S.A. and Canada Only-
Subject: Piston and Wrist Pin Changes
Dear Dealer,
On all Rl00/7, Rl00S and ‘Rl00RS, starting with
R 100/7
R 100 S
R 100 RS
V.I.N. 6 146 670
V.I.N. 6 162 563
V.I.N. 6 182 548
and all R 80/7 since the introduction of this model. The piston
design was improved, the circlips are now secured to the wrist
pin (external) instead of the inside of the piston (see attached
pictures). The dome shape was changed in order to avoid excessive
carbon build-up with a better flow pattern. (
The compression ratio is the same, or 9:1.
Caution:
Due to the slight increase in weight, pistons with internal or
external circlip location can not be installed singly but must
match in both cylinders. Also when ordering watch for the (+)
\
and (-) markings on the piston removed. Never mismatch the pistons;
consider them as identical pairs.
Yours truly,
BMWM OTORRADG MBH
